There is one kind of fabric which we in the UK call calico, and I believe in
the US it is called muslin.

There is another kind of fabric, whose US name I don't know; in the UK we
call it muslin; it is made with finer threads (so "finer") woven further
apart (so "coarser") than the other fabric.

Hoping this helps,
