Swiss Cross organic cotton muslin swaddle by Modern Burlap for What Is Organic Cotton Muslin

What Is Organic Cotton Muslin?

Muslin is a lightweight woven cotton fabric used for many baby and home textiles because it is soft, breathable, washable, and easy to layer.

Why families use muslin

Its open weave keeps the fabric light while still making it useful for swaddles, blankets, burp cloths, nursery textiles, and other everyday pieces.

It changes with washing

Cotton muslin often becomes softer and more relaxed with use and washing, which is part of why it works so well for pieces that are used repeatedly.
