    Asda and Tesco's sell them. Can't remeber if it is 3 or 5 in a pack for £3.50.

    I use them for an icing duster for my cake decorating!

    Really? I've never seen them (that said I do as much of my shopping as possible in Lidl these days), what section are they in?

  • Try ebay or buy directly from websites. Some shops sell it pretty expensive. The best I have found so far (and cheapest) is safai-skin.co.uk, but you can also get it on ebay I think.

    I want to get some muslin for cooking, brewing, preserving etc. Have seen the bags on ebay bot would like metres of it to make my own sizes etc, can I just buy normal muslin fabric? or does it need to be a special type?

    A friend and I went halves on a pack of muslin squares from Mothercare. They're just the right size for straining stuff when making jellies and wine and as they're hemmed all around, you don't have to worry about bits of loose thread that you would get if you used muslin cut from a bolt of fabric.
  • Fabric shop should stock butter muslin by the metre. I bought some from John Lewis a fortnight ago but sorry can't remember price per metre.

    you can buy muslin by the metre or something called cheesecloth fabric (I believe its slightly thicker but does similar job).
