Muslin.
Lightweight open plain-weave cotton — baby, décor, and specialty hospitality.
What it is
Muslin is a lightweight plain-weave cotton fabric with an open, breathable structure. It originated in Dhaka (historical Bengal) and remains a specialty Indian textile export. In hospitality and home-retail, it shows up as baby swaddles, sheers, bed-liner panels, gauze wraps, and breathable summer throws.
How it’s made
Construction
Classic muslin is woven from fine carded or combed cotton yarn with a balanced 1×1 plain weave and low ends-per-inch, creating its characteristic open structure. Higher-end variants — voile, organdie, heritage Dhaka muslin — use finer yarns and tighter picks for a sheer-but-durable cloth.
