Cotton material (6)

I believe the answer is:

muslin

(Other definitions for muslin that I've seen before include "Light cotton cloth" , "dress material" , "Cotton for veil or strainer" , "Fine soft plain-woven cotton fabric of gauzy appearance" , "Gauze-like cloth" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
