How do you translate the word "manta" (Spanish) into English?

"Manta" is a type of cloth used to make clothing and other things. I would like to know what that translates into in English. I've already looked at several Spanish-English translators but I know there's another word for it that people would know it by in English.|||I think it's a kind of crude cotton.





I am not sure why I got thumbs down? I learned about it in Spanish class. It is a textile used to make a certain type of blanket in Latin America, but it is literally crude cotton.|||Main Entry: man路ta
