How many muslins does a newborn need?
Six is a good starting point, a dozen if you'd rather wash less often. They're the item people most often come back for.
What is the difference between a muslin square and a swaddle blanket?
Size. A muslin square is the smaller everyday cloth; a swaddle blanket is cut large enough to wrap a baby properly. Both are the same breathable open weave.
Do muslins get softer with washing?
Noticeably. The open weave relaxes each time, so a well-washed muslin is the softest one you own. Wash new muslins once or twice before first use.
Can I use a muslin as a pram cover?
On a warm day a clip-on sunshade or parasol is the better choice, as it shades without reducing the airflow around the pram.
Are the muslins organic cotton?
Yes, GOTS certified organic cotton — certified across the whole chain, from the fibre through the dyeing and finishing to the working conditions behind them.
How do I wash muslins?
Machine wash at 30 or 40 and hang to dry — they're dry within the hour. We don't recommend tumble drying: the heat tightens the weave and lifts the surface fibres, dulling the colour. Line dried, muslins simply keep getting softer.
