Description
Small triangles in red, yellow, turquoise, green and blue lie loosely scattered on a natural white ground. They look painted in watercolour: edges bleed slightly, no shape matches another. That makes this pattern read handmade rather than printed, while a white ground keeps it light.
This cloth is a double gauze — two fine layers joined at points, hence its crinkle and soft handle. 132 cm wide, 130 g/m², 100 % cotton, by the metre from 0.2 metres. Wash at 30 degrees; pressing, bleaching, tumble drying are ruled out by its care symbols. Because those triangles have no set direction, you can lay pattern pieces freely. Allow around 10 % residual shrinkage when ordering, and wash before you cut.
What Muslin Thea Colourful Triangles White is suitable for
- Muslin squares, because muslin is soft and absorbs well.
- Children's blouses, because this pattern reads cheerful yet never childish.
- Summer dresses, because a white ground reads light.
- Pairings with plain muslin, because those colours can be picked up.
Care instructions:
Frequently asked questions
Is muslin suitable for baby things?
It is the classic for burp cloths, swaddles and light summer pieces, being soft and growing softer with every wash. Wash it first, so it absorbs well from the start.
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.
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.
