Nainsook
Soft, lightweight, plain-woven cotton fabric
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nainsook is a soft, fine, lightweight form of muslin.[1][2] Muslin encompasses a broad range of fabrics of varying weight and fineness, but is always a plain weave, cotton fabric. The English word 'nainsook', documented from 1790 onwards,[3] derives from the Hindi word nainsukh, which literally means "eye's delight".[1]
