ORGANIC COTTON CHEESECLOTH – UNDYED & UNBLEACHED (ECRU)
100% Organic Cotton | Width: approx. 135 cm | Weight: 125 g/m²
Light, breathable, and beautifully natural, this organic cotton cheesecloth is supplied in its undyed and unbleached ecru shade.
Also known as mull, muslin, jam cloth, passing cloth, or cheese linen, this open-weave fabric has a soft, supple handle and a lightly transparent structure. Traditionally used in cheese making to strain curds and whey, it is now widely valued in natural dyeing, felting, food preparation, and creative textile work.
Free from bleaching and synthetic treatments, this fabric is ideal for makers seeking a clean, versatile cotton with excellent breathability and flexibility.
With its lightweight feel and open structure, it performs especially well in feltmaking, filtering, and experimental textile processes.
