Basically a linen or cotton muslin cloth, with a weave that would hold 
pudding dough. Jas Townsend and Sons have one for sale at 
http://jas-townsend.com/natural-linen-kitchen-cloth-3470-p-1438.html

But for $17.50 (plus shipping), I think you could buy a piece of linen 
and make several pudding cloths. Basically just a square, hemmed so 
loose threads don't get into the dough.

I've been watching a lot of the cooking videos on their YouTube channel- 
some really interesting stuff, and a lot of it not unlike what we do. I 
keep watching the mud oven videos and trying to figure out how I could 
make and use one without wood smoke (I have some serious lung problems), 
but I can't. Hoping someone else does though!

(One of my 6 year old granddaughters is addicted to those videos. Now 
she wants to make in a wood-fired oven, and she wants me to get some 
rennet so we can make cheese!)
