Textile Guide: What is Muslin?
Muslin is a type of fabric made from 100% natural cotton. It is an organic, healthy, natural, soft and breathable product. In addition, it has a texture that softens after each wash. In this guide, we will go into the properties of muslin and why the fabric is Mushie's preferred fabric choice for many of their textile products for babies and children.
Why is muslin fabric a popular choice for baby textiles?
Baby skin is much more sensitive compared to adult skin. A baby's skin barrier is 30% thinner than an adult's, making it difficult for them to adapt easily to temperature changes. Baby skin also loses moisture twice as quickly and can therefore easily become dry and scaly. Therefore, a baby's skin deserves the absolute best.
What are the benefits of muslin fabric for babies?
1. Thanks to its open weave, muslin is a very light and breathable fabric that helps keep babies comfortable and warm, but at the same time allows air to flow freely, preventing overheating. Therefore, muslin fabric is the safest choice for baby textiles.
2. Muslin is also a stretchy fabric that stretches gently to conform to baby's shape for maximum comfort. The child will sleep longer and better when he/she is comfortably wrapped in muslin fabric.
3. It is an extremely durable fabric and gets softer every time you wash it.
4. Pure cotton muslin is free of chemicals and harmful substances, making the fabric 100% safe for baby's skin. At the same time, it is a better choice for the environment compared to other textiles.
