Muslin (/ˈmʌzlɪn/) is a cotton fabric of plain weave.[3] It is made in a wide range of weights from delicate sheers to coarse sheeting.[4] It gets its name from the city of Mosul, Iraq, where it was first manufactured.[5][6][7]
The 16th-century English traveller Ralph Fitch lauded the muslin he saw in Sonargaon (in modern day Narayanganj District, Bangladesh).[8] He visited India in 1583, described Sonargaon, "as a town ...... where there is the best and finest cloth made in all India". Abul Fazl wrote "the Sarkar of Sonargaon produces a species of muslin very fine and in great quantity". During the 17th and 18th centuries, Mughal Bengal emerged as the foremost muslin exporter in the world, with Mughal Dhaka as capital of the worldwide muslin trade.[9][10] Dhakai Muslin was recognized as a Geographical Indication (GI) product of Bangladesh in 2018[11] and Banglar Muslin was recognized as a Geographical Indication (GI) product of the Indian state of West Bengal in 2024.[12]
In 2013, the traditional art of weaving Jamdani, a type of muslin, in Bangladesh was included in the list of Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO.[13]
