Title: Muslin- Where to buy?
Post by: Jay Dee on October 30, 2014, 09:17:38 AM
Hi Guys,
I'm planning on making a few different things for containing hops (Leaf + pellet).  So I want to buy a lot of large sheets of muslin cloth. 
I wouldn't know where to start looking.  When i looked online all i found was small sheets which i don't fancy stitching together (Life's too short).

Any ideas?

Is this the stuff? It doesn't say what material it is.

You can get cotton muslin for E3.50/metre in Hickeys. Its about 1m wide.

That stuff is probably a nylon or polyester as opposed to traditional muslin.  Only one way to find out really.
