Editing Muslin (section)

=== Thin ===
Muslins were originally made of cotton only. These were very thin, transparent, delicate and feather light breathable [[Textile|fabrics]]. There could be 1000–1800 yarns in [[Warp and weft|warp]] and weigh {{cvt|3.8|oz|order=flip}} for {{cvt|1|x|10|yard|order=flip}}. Some varieties of muslin were so thin that they could even pass through the aperture of a lady's finger-ring.<ref name=":1">{{Cite book|last=Watson|first=John Forbes|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=g2XL2CJewPAC&q=Malmal+%E2%80%8B(Mulmul)+(pronounced+muh-l+muh-l+as+in+mulberry)|title=The Textile Manufactures and the Costumes of the People of India|year=1867|publisher=Allen|pages=75}}</ref><ref name=":2">{{Cite book|last=Balfour|first=Edward|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=hVsIAAAAQAAJ&q=mulmul+uses&pg=PA830|title=The Cyclopædia of India and of Eastern and Southern Asia, Commercial Industrial, and Scientific: Products of the Mineral, Vegetable, and Animal Kingdoms, Useful Arts and Manufactures|year=1885|publisher=Bernard Quaritch|pages=830}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=WC0v1PE5yzgC&q=mulmul,+that+was+so+thin+that+the+entire+saree+could+pass+through+a+ring|title=Indian Journal of Economics|year=1998|publisher=University of Allahabad, Department of Economics|pages=435}}</ref>
