Product Type: Throw Blankets

Gray stamped crosses and fine pencil stripes share the white ground of this muslin throw, a print that stays quiet from across the room and turns playful up close. The fabric is 100% rayon made from bamboo, woven as muslin and cut 50 by 70 inches, with a smooth hand that drapes instead of standing stiff.

  • Open muslin weave. A loose plain weave that rests lightly over your legs instead of pinning you down.
  • Gray on white. A print without a strong color slips into any bedding or sofa scheme.
  • Light enough to pack. Thin muslin folds small for the beach, a park or a car trip.

What Is Muslin, Exactly

Muslin is a plain weave, one thread over and one under, woven loosely from fine yarns so the cloth stays light and a little see-through. It is the fabric of baby swaddles and cheesecloth, and the open structure is the point: the cloth is so light that a muslin throw settles over you rather than pressing down. Muslin also softens with washing and takes on a gentle crinkle, which hides creases from being folded in a basket.

A Gray Print That Mixes In

Most printed throws pick a color and ask the room to agree with it. This one stays in gray and white, which lets it settle in beside navy bedding, a green sofa or a pile of patterned pillows without arguing. Each cross is filled with a fine drawn pattern, and the pencil stripes are thin and slightly uneven, which keeps the print from looking machine-made.

That restraint makes it a good shared throw. It suits a guest room, a reading chair or the back seat of a car equally well, and it never clashes with whatever else ends up on the bed.

A Thin Layer Through the Year

In summer it can be the only cover on a hot night, light enough to kick off half asleep. When the weather turns, put it to work as a thin layer between the sheet and a heavier blanket, where it adds softness against your skin without adding bulk.

Muslin from Sofa to Picnic

Is muslin see-through? Slightly, when you hold it up to a lamp, because the weave is open. Laid over a sofa or a bed it reads as a soft solid, and the gray print hides any sheerness.

Can you take a muslin throw outside? Few throws travel better. It is light to carry, it shakes clean of sand and grass, and the thin cloth dries quickly after a damp evening on the lawn.

Is muslin the same as gauze? Not quite, though both are open plain weaves. Gauze is woven looser and sheerer still, while muslin is a little tighter, which is why it holds together as a blanket.
