the label says " Roc-lon Rockland Industries Presents
Muslin by the Bolt

Country of origin Pakistan

there was an entire display of this and other bolts of cheaply priced Pellon interfacings. if you don't see it there, ask for it.

it says to wash in cold water (sure!) and line dry (ha!) whatever shrinking this baby does is happening before it ever sees a cutting matt.

edit to say: they had bleached and unbleached.
I've bought this by the yard at WalMart. It's what I use when I make my crayon self portraits with my students at school.
