01
The field
Grown slow, picked ripe
Cotton grows for months under the sun and is picked only when the bolls burst open, soft as fresh snow. Some days it's hard not to jump in.
The blanket you'll reach for every night
Woven the old way from six layers of soft cotton gauze. Cosy in winter, softer with every wash.
The making of
From boll to blanket
Muslin has been woven for centuries. Ours still follows the same 7 steps, from a cotton field to your bed.
02
The card
Cleaned and carded
The raw cotton is cleaned of seeds and leaves, then carded: wire-covered drums comb the fibres into a soft, airy web that gathers in tall cans.
03
The spinning
From cloud to yarn
From the cans, the soft cotton is drawn straight into the spinning machine, which stretches it, twists it into a fine, gentle yarn and winds it onto bobbins.
04
The warp
Hundreds of threads, side by side
Hundreds of bobbins are lined up on a tall rack, and their threads are laid side by side onto one big roller: the warp, the backbone of every blanket.
05
The loom
Woven, layer upon layer
On the loom, 6 layers of open gauze are woven at the same time and joined at tiny points, so they breathe separately but move as one.
06
The wash
Washed until it crinkles
The fabric is washed and tumble-dried. The layers shrink and bloom into muslin's signature crinkle, and arrive already soft.
07
The finish
Cut, sewn and checked by hand
Every blanket is cut, hemmed and inspected by hand, then folded and sent on its way to your bed.
Inside the blanket
Six layers. One soft blanket.
Six sheets of open cotton gauze, stacked and stitched as one. Light enough for October, warm enough for January.
Layer 1
The soft outer face
Open-weave cotton gauze that gets softer and more crinkled with every wash.
Layers 2 – 5
Four breathing layers
Tiny pockets of air between them hold your warmth in winter and let heat escape in summer.
Stitched as one
Sewn through all six
Fine lines of stitching hold the layers together, so they move as one, never bunch, and bloom into that signature crinkle.
Layer 6
No wrong side
The same soft gauze on the back, so it's just as lovely whichever way it lands.

“I bought this because I needed a light layer for the sofa. It feels comfortable without feeling bulky and it is light enough to move around with one hand.”
“Love this blanket! It is soft, warm, and so comfy! I loved the selection available. It arrived on time, as expected. I washed it, it became softer! It looks great on my bed. It is very well made, and I expect this will last many years. I highly recommend the muslin loom blankets!”

“I have had this blanket for 3 weeks now. When I opened the package the blanket was a gorgeous color but not as soft as I thought it was. The length and width was larger than I thought which is great. Washed it, dried it on low heat. It did get softer and has gotten softer everyday since.”
“I buy from this company again and again. They have THE best quality muslin through. The colours are beautiful!!”
“I absolutely love this blanket. Pros: I’m a big fan of cotton and more natural feeling fabrics and this does not have that fake feel some blankets have. It’s also surprisingly soft. Not fleece/plush blanket soft, the softness of a well loved t-shirt type soft. Cons: It’s not very aesthetically pleasing. It wrinkles easily and if you have cats, there will be snags. Neither of those things bother me, but if you’re someone who really cares how your bed looks, then it might not be ideal”
“I was unsure whether a lightweight blanket would feel warm enough, but this one is comfortable without being heavy. I use it on the changing area for feeding the baby. It is also easy to fold and put away when I do not need it. It is simple, comfortable and useful.”

Questions, answered
Which size do I need?
Throw for the sofa or the end of the bed, Large Throw for a single bed, Queen for a 160 cm double and King for 180 cm and wider. Every size is shown to scale above.
Will it shrink in the wash?
Each blanket is pre-washed before it leaves us, so it has already done its shrinking. Wash cold and dry low to keep its size.
Is muslin warm enough for winter?
The layers trap air between them, so the blanket keeps you warm without overheating. Use it alone in summer and over your duvet in winter.
How does the 99-night trial work?
Sleep with it, wash it, use it every day. If you don't love it within 99 nights of delivery, contact us and we'll arrange the return and a full refund.
Why does it look crinkled?
That's the muslin at work. The layers are joined only at small points, so when the cotton is washed it puffs up into soft ripples. No ironing needed, ever.
