@Myr said: Bill swears by his dark blue muslin sheets.

How did you know, Myr?  Are you Big Brother and have you been spying on me?  😜 

Please don't confuse muslin with muslim.  They refer to totally different things.  One is a cotton fabric and the other is a believer or one that follows the Islamic religion.

Muslin is often used in sacred items, such as altar coverings, or in religious garments.

Muslin derives from the Arabic word mawṣilī meaning of Mosul (Iraq).

Muslin is made from cotton and is light weight and breathable.

Breathable - does that mean we can all breathe it in or does it have lungs?  🤡

Clothing designers often craft their original models in muslin first before rendering them in the intended fabric. It's both cheaper and easier  to work with.

I thought it had something to do with an irrational fear of bacon.
