Muslin is 100 percent cotton , and so many different grade available . There are bleached ( white) and Unbleached ( natural) . and there is a PFD ( prepared for dyeing). RonLov is one of the major manufactures of muslin , and has as many as 6 -8 muslin grades in both bleached and unbleached. Each of the grades has a code on the end of the bolt. If this is a fabric you think best , keep the code in your purse , so you can buy the same one each time.
This is the link so you can see the types that are manufactured by this company. Almost every store has RonLoc muslin in one type or another, the key is knowing which you are really getting.
This companies PFD muslin is number 408 called Natures Way .
