Where do you buy muslin cloth?
« on: May 06, 2012, 03:31:54 pm »
I was making coconut milk the other day and needed muslin cloth to strain it. Didn't have any so used a chux wipe instead which was fine but just wondering where I would buy muslin cloth from?

I don't know where you live, but I get mine from suppliers of cheese making equipment (usually home cheesemakers).

Most fabric shops will have muslin (although you would probably have to ask and make sure you pre-wash it before using it).  If you foresee using it a lot, purchasing a purpose made jelly bag can save heaps of time and hassle - you can get them (along with a purpose made stand to hold it upright over a bowl) from good kitchen ware shops.

I have been thinking about buying some muslin, and then remembered that my mum always used to use stockings to drain her cottage cheese. Always worked for her - I guess they are like Chux.

I found my muslin in a kitchenware shop but any fabric store should have some.

I use the muslin wraps that I used to swaddle my babies in. They work really well and can be folded over a few times if needed. You can get them from target, Kmart etc.  I got the three pack from target when they were half price (during the baby sales they always go half price). I think they worked out at $8 for a pack of three.
