White Muslin Fabric

This white muslin fabric is a bleached cotton fabric with a light, plain weave. Muslin is a traditional fabric in 100% cotton that has a number of different uses including dressmaking, craft and light furnishing. Muslin is also used in the kitchen and is known as butter muslin. This white cotton butter muslin is often used for straining foods. You might like to use it to make sloe gin, fruit jellies and jams.

What is muslin?

This white muslin gauze is a light, semi sheer fabric with a coarse plain weave. Muslin originated from Dhaka, Bangladesh. It is now produced widely, and our stocks come from either India or Egypt. Muslin is a natural fabric, made from 100% cotton, which makes it useful for food use like straining and finely sieving foods and for making jams and jellies. If you're looking for butter muslin for kitchen use, this is the perfect choice. Always wash before using with food!

What can I use instead of white cotton muslin?

As well as this bleached cotton muslin we also sell a natural unbleached muslin fabric which can be used for this purpose.

It has a tighter weave than this lightweight butter muslin and is great for colourful home furnishing projects and dress and skirt linings.

We try our best to always send fabric in one continuous length although this is not always possible, we will contact you if this is the case. Some fabrics are also on sale in our shop in Bridport, Dorset, so on rare occasions stock may not be available where it appears to be online. We do our best to avoid this and many fabrics can be reordered, again if this occurs we will contact you to discuss the options.

To keep your lovely new fabrics in the best condition we recommend checking out the Product Info for details on how to care for them. Washable fabrics should always be hand washed, before cutting and making your projects, in order to allow for shrinkage.

For best results we recommend curtains should be dry-cleaned. To order curtains contact us with your measurements and request a quote.
