Burlap is rough and to do anything with it like latch hooking you need to pull threads.
Monks cloth is a soft evenweave (meaning four strands under/four strands over) used for swedish weaving and some embroidery. Comes in several colors now. Although so does burlap now.
I get my Monks cloth through Nordicneedle.com

You have to be very careful with burlap, he comes with a terrible odor, and has a chemical on it that a lot of people are allergic to. It started out original color a medium brown, now many colors are available....
Monks cloth is usually always white, if soft to the touch, is an extremely loose weave, and is used in some crafts when you stitch over the weave.....
Very different fabrics.....(Employee of Joann for many years)

Burlap
A loosely constructed, heavy weight, plain weave fabric. It has a rough hand. Appropriate for draperies and decorative items.
Monk's Cloth
A heavy weight cotton fabric utilizing the basket weave variation of the plain weave. Used for draperies and slip covers, monk's cloth is an example of 4 x 4 basket weave. It has poor dimensional stability and tends to snag.
