Description
Its double-weave build makes muslin breathable and still opaque enough for clothing. At 130 cm wide its weight per square metre is 130 g/m². It is woven from 100 % cotton. At 10 % residual shrinkage the fabric belongs in the wash before cutting, or the finished piece no longer fits after its first wash.
Natural White shows pattern and texture better than any dark tone — the fabric stays a quiet ground. Dyed plain, the fabric lets cut and construction work; a cuff or a companion fabric takes over the pattern elsewhere. Pressing before cutting pays off: a smooth fabric lies exactly, a creased one does not.
What Muslin in Natural White is suitable for
- patchwork and quilting
- children's clothing
- curtains and drapes

Frequently asked questions
Does the colour bleed in the wash?
Strongly dyed cotton can give off a little colour in its first wash. That is why you pre-wash, and separately. After that the fabric is normally colour-stable.
Which needle do I need?
A universal needle in a medium size covers most cottons. On dense or coated qualities go one size up, on fine batiste one size down.
The fabric does not stretch — is that a problem?
No, but the pattern has to allow for it. With wovens, freedom of movement comes from width, pleats and darts rather than stretch. A jersey pattern cannot simply be sewn in a woven.
What is bias binding?
A strip cut at forty-five degrees to the grain. In that direction even a woven stretches, which is exactly why it binds a curve cleanly.
