heavy kraft paper
Explanation:
From the discussion below, it seems that "papel escenografico" is a heavy "paper misionero" sold in large sizes, usually rolls. "Papel Misionero" is actually a brand name. If one looks at the site, it claims to be a manufacturer of kraft paper. From photos I've seen in other sites, papel escenográfica (a term that seems to used almost exclusively in Argentina) appears to be heavy craft paper sold in rolls that is often used for children's murals and designs for theater backdrops. From the description below one could say "high quality" heavy kraft paper, but I've only seen "kraft paper" mentioned to describe works such as charcoal drawings on (kraft/brown paper). Sources:

neutral  Gilla Evans: You would not use graph paper. A tapestry is made using an actual-size cartoon of the design.
