Muslin thread count

[Matthew J Wilson]

Looking to buy some bleached & unbleached muslin.

Thinking about buying a 108" roll but when I go in fabric stores the muslin looks really thin and transparent? Anyone know what the thread count of muslin should be? Ive seen 68 x 68 and 200 x 200, that seems quite a bit different? Been looking here: https://www.quiltdirect.co.uk/acatalog/American-Muslin.html

If anyone knows anything I'd hugely appreciate it!

Muslin and canvas are graded by weight. 4.5oz/62" is pretty standard for muslin, I think.

Thanks Chris, I'll do some more research!
