Description

The listing, white 50 grade cotton cheesecloth fabric has ended.

The listing is for 1/2 yard x 36in, enough to use for canning or straining purposes.

**GIN buyer recvs 25y x 36in.

**** I've also used this cheesecloth to make baby swaddler "blankets". It unfolds to about 36in. If you UNFOLD it and quadruple it (4 yards), when it's serged or stitched around the edges, it's the same consistency as the high end "swaddlers" that cost way more than i'd pay. (0:

Cheesecloth bunches up when machine dried on medium (i'd do it AFTER you've sewn with it) and has a beautiful fluffy and soft consistency. it's so pretty.

I've made many of these, dyed them w/a safe dye and either air dried for a loose look or machine dried to bubble it up.

If you've sewn the edges the way you want, it's fine.

I love cheesecloth like i love burlap. (0:

White 50 grade cotton cheesecloth fabric. New, out the box. Absolutely BEAUTIFUL and consistent quality for the grading.

Please see the pics for details.

This is pre-folded down to about 8-9in. Opened, it's about 36in width.

Ships for free. Thank you for looking... (:

I've used this to make sheer white curtain panels. They're beautiful and easy to do. Hand or machine stitch across the width of the fabric to create the rod pocket. Leave the neatly cut ends unhemmed. Done!

One 25 yard cut will make about 12 - 72in x 36in wide panels. I used 4 panels per window for a very pretty and FULL sheer look that can't be seen thru. 2 panels of that size per window will give a nice island feel to your windows. Try it. (0:

I've also had beautiful results hand dyeing this 100% cotton fabric.

Questions & Comments

Can I ask what you used to dye it?

Basic Rit dye that can be purchased at and craft or grocery store. I've also tea stained it before at Halloween for a "dirty" look.

If you aren't use to Rit, i'd try the liquid first. You can use less or more of it to achieve the color that you want.

If you're trying to dye something as lightweight of a cotton as cheesecloth, just know that it'll match the color perfectly. Cheesecloth is super permeable and takes dye well. I've used a bottle of a pink Rit and ended up with various shades of that same pink (on purpose) because of how much i added to the water.

Also, when i dye this, i get the fabric wet first, then take it out of the water. I add as much or as little Dye as i think i need to get the color i want, and add the wet fabric back into the mix.

Hope that helps. I'm like the corniest crafty chick ever!! ...lol. I love making messes!!

Good luck to you. Thank you for asking.
