ᐅ Looking for the correct technical term (for translation)

I am currently translating a text into German that contains a word I don’t know. Maybe an expert from the forum can help me?

It concerns a crack in a room ceiling. However, this ceiling is covered with a paper-like material that was then painted white. This "paper" or fabric has torn.

What is this called?

The attached picture clearly shows what I mean.

Thank you very much for any help!

I would literally translate it as "fabric". In the context of the picture, painter’s fleece fits quite well, I think.
