Description
Burgundy is the darkest shade here, reading less heavy thanks to that crinkle than it would on smooth cloth. In light its surface shows small gradations keeping the tone alive.
Muslin is a double gauze: two fine woven layers joined at many points. That is where its typical crinkle comes from, and its soft handle too — this cloth lies airily against skin without clinging. Weight 130 g/m², width 130 cm, 100 % cotton, by the metre from 0.2 metres. Wash on a gentle cycle at 30 degrees; pressing, bleaching, tumble drying are ruled out by its care symbols. No drawback there: that crinkle is wanted, and a smoothly pressed muslin loses exactly what makes it. One point for quantity: residual shrinkage runs around 10 %, so add that when ordering and wash once before cutting.
What Muslin Double Gauze Jenke Plain Burgundy is suitable for
- Summer dresses, because dark shades read unusual, lovely there.
- Scarves and wraps, because burgundy suits natural tones.
- Autumn sewing, because this shade belongs to that season.

Frequently asked questions
Do I have to iron muslin?
No, and you should not: that crinkle is this fabric's defining feature. Hang your garment damp and pull it into shape, so it falls smooth enough by itself without losing its texture.
Will it shrink in the wash?
Cotton pulls together in a first wash, on double gauze rather more than on a smooth weave. Wash your fabric once before cutting, exactly as you will care for the finished piece.
How many layers do I need?
One layer serves for scarves or summer clothing. In pale shades and close-fitting pieces, work double or line it, because this cloth is sheer by nature and lets light through.
How should I hem it?
A narrow double-turned hem looks tidiest, keeping that edge calm. On scarves you can roll-hem with an overlocker instead — faster, and it reads lighter.
