Interesting to say the least. Now you've heard the facts from the 'horse' s mouth'

Thanks for the link! In case anyone doesn't want to read through to find the one paragraph that mentions muslin:

Not to be confused with Kona Cotton, Kona Premium Muslin is a high thread count muslin exclusively produced in Pakistan. Kona Cotton Solids, on the other hand, have never been produced in Pakistan, and are currently being woven and dyed in Indonesia and Thailand at mills that are capable of achieving the Oeko-Tex Standard 100. While we have discontinued production in China and Korea, some bolts may still bare those Countries of Origin on the label.
