"Plain unbleached cotton muslin (often called "quilter's muslin") does come in different weights..." Adele
Yes it does! It used to be sold by weights, sometimes denoted on the bolts (often by the actual weight per yard or meter, though there are other ways.) A good example today, may be checking Scottish tartans available through Burberry's or other vendors. Often you have the choice of weight (reflecting thickness/heft). It is overall, quite similar to weights sold in paper, and was as common a measure as a "penny" nail. (Some of it isn't completely accurate, as in buying yarn by weight, alpaca may have more weight and volume than wool, as an example.) Nowadays you go in and ask for a two penny nail, they protest there is no such thing (but there is, on the box in code.) All slowly being lost... Back to lace!
