Simple cotton fabric (6)

I believe the answer is:

muslin

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

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
