Soft Furnishing Fabrics – Cheesecloth

Cheesecloth takes it name from the function it was originally used for – namely wrapping cheese. It's a lightweight cotton which is loosely woven and isn't really substantial or strong enough to make soft furnishings; although it can be used successfully for making mosquito nets and bed canopies, along with lightweight curtains.


For those who remember back to the 60s and 70s cheesecloth was made into shirts and was highly fashionable!
