Description
Emerald is a green with depth — no grass shade but a forest one. On double gauze its fine texture makes it read softer than that tone alone would suggest.
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 Emerald is suitable for
- Blouses and dresses, because emerald suits many skin tones.
- Scarves, because a strong shade carries as an accent.
- Pairings with natural white, because that contrast stays calm.

Frequently asked questions
How is muslin best sewn?
With a fine universal needle, straight stitch, little tension. It shifts easily, so plenty of pins or a walking foot pay off. Finish your edges, because they fray readily.
How much fabric do I need?
At this width, two square muslin cloths come out of one length side by side. For a summer dress reckon roughly two metres; your sewing pattern states it more exactly.
Will the colour look like the photo?
Double gauze breaks light through its crinkle, so a shade looks livelier than on smooth cloth. In shade it reads darker, in sunlight paler — both belong to it.
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.
