cheesecloth/muslin - where to buy?

Greyjoy

I have a demi-john of my first batch of (joe's ancient orange) mead ready. I want to strain it before bottling to clear out the sediment. Lots of online guides refer to using cheesecloth/muslin as a strainer - is there anywhere in Dublin that would sell 'food grade' quality muslin as opposed to just standard 'craft' fabric?

It's the one thing I find hard to find in B and M shops. I've got mine online before (but only makes sense if ordering with other stuff).
In a pinch I've made do with spit cloths we bought for our kids when they were babes. (Well washed before hand obviously )

Stock on South King Street sells cheesecloth.

I picked up a load of it in a dressmakers shop in Galway, worked out about €2 per square meter.

Home focus also sell it and cheap too

Thanks for all the suggestions - I nipped into Stock near Stephens Green shopping centre and got some muslin to strain the mead. I've stuck the mead in the shed to chill it down a little to help it clear.

Not for beer but for cheese I use IKEA's tea towels.
I also used them for straining fat from suet. Works fine for me. It is not expensive either.
