A short encyclopedia entry defining muslin as a fine cotton cloth with a downy knot on its surface. It lists several East Indian types, especially from Bengal (doreas, beteiles, mulmuls, tanjebs), and describes jaconet, a muslin between cossae and mulmul in fineness. It notes that jaconet suits tambour and needlework embroidery and was made in England and Scotland.
