A plain-weave cotton fabric woven thinly and finished with a texture very similar to gauze. Originally it was a thin linen fabric, but to imitate the texture, stiff cotton fabrics with a rough feel began to be woven, and cotton fabrics have since become more common. Cotton cheesecloth is made from single yarns of about 40 count, and a strong paste is applied to the warp threads when they are woven, and then the fabric is bleached and finished with an even stronger paste. It is also available in plain colors and with a printed finish. High-quality cheesecloth is widely used for handkerchiefs, as well as curtain fabrics, artificial flowers, and doll costumes.

薄地に織られ、紗によく似た感じに仕上げられた平織の綿織物。もとは薄地の麻織物であったが、その風合いに似せて、手ざわりが粗いこわめの綿織物が製織されるようになり、むしろ木綿のものが一般化するようになった。綿製の寒冷紗は40番手くらいの単糸で、織るときに経(たて)糸に強糊(こわのり)をつけてあり、漂白したのちさらに強糊仕上げをする。また色無地、捺染(なっせん)加工したものもある。良質のものはハンカチーフ地に、ほかにカーテン地、造花用、人形の衣装などにも広く用いられている。 [角山幸洋] 出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
