Cheesecloth anyone?
 
Hey all,
I'm so into cheese making and I want to try making some, just for the fun of it.
But I cannot seem to know where to find cheesecloth or how to tell if it is cheesecloth or not.
Where can I find cheesecloth?
How does it look?
I've seen alot of kinds of cloths in the dollar store but it does not say "cheesecloth" , I think it says dish towel....but it's a thin cloth.
Any one can help me find cheesecloth (not online because I'm not oging to pay for shipping for something I can get in a store and I can see with my own eyes).
Thanks all!

I can normally find it in a grocery store by their other cooking utencils (where can openers are etc...)
It is called cheesecloth, however not every having made cheese, I can only assume it is what you need.

cheesecloth can be found in hardwarestores as well - but grocery stores are usually a good place to look

Cheesecloth is a very thin piece of fabric that is not tightly woven - muslin gauze is what it m ight also go by.. (but don't get the gauze that's sold as first aid - it's over priced...

googling brought up this close up image of what it looks like

Thanks, Edmos! I tried shoprite but found no cheesecloth:(
I'll look in other grocery stores also. Thx!

Aww, thanks Maleficent! You're awesome!!! Thanks for all your wonderful help!

I have found it in the fabric section of stores. They'll cut as much as you need.

Going to www.froogle.com - also brought up some auto supply stores - apparantly it's good for post waxing of the car.. it's one more place to check -- an auto supply store you'd probably get it at a decent price as well..

You can likely find it at a craft store, as it's often used in crafts as well as in cheese-making.

I'd love it if you could post a write up about making cheese sometime, I've never known anyone who has done that.

I use cheese cloth when roasting Turkey. I never have trouble finding it at the grocery store.

Guess what?? I found cheese cloth in the collar store. i couldn't belive it because i've went to the same store looking ofr cheesecloth and did not find it nad hte next time I go without thinking of cheesecloth and there it is, right in front of my face!
It looks exactly like Mal's pic (thanks, Mal!).

I've never done cheese before either...I just saw some websites about cheesemaking.
