What is Mulmul cotton fabric? Why is it used ?

Mulmul is a soft and fine weave of cotton which is also known as muslin. It was almost 100 years ago when Bengali weavers first weaved it. Mulmul cotton fabric was one of the prized imports from India to the lands of England and Scotland. It started appearing in the market there and then gradually the countries of the continent started manufacturing it. Muslin fabric got its name derived from Mosul a city in Iraq. 
 

Mulmul – The Fine Weave Of Cotton

Dhaka in Bangladesh, a part of India was the first place where Mulmul originated. Under the Mughal rule, Dhaka became the capital of the worldwide muslin trade. During this time, when the trade of this fabric was flourishing, the Britishers aggressively tried to repress it. Since the industrially manufactured and the imported fabric could not compete for the supreme hand-woven counterpart in India, the Britishers decided to wind up the production and knowledge by cutting off the thumbs of the craftsmen.
 
The production of Mulmul suffered for about two centuries. Gradually it got revived and now it is available easily. It is also not as expensive as it used to be. The fabric is super soft, lightweight, and very breathable. It is great for summers, especially in the harsh summers of India as it quickly absorbs moisture and keeps the person at ease. It gets softer with every wash. It is easy to wash and easy to wear. The fabric can be dyed easily and when stitched into garments, it turns out to be a very easy-breezy and elegant outfit.
 
Despite the repression, the art of weaving Mulmul cotton fabric persisted, and over the years, it has seen great recognition and demand. The super-soft and breathable is great for sultry summer, as it has the properties to readily absorb moisture and keep the wearer cool and comfortable in the summers. This fabric is also ideal for making light and airy clothing such as sarees, mulmul cotton organza dupattas, and designer mulmul cotton kurtas, which are popular traditional clothing items in the Indian subcontinent
