A little bit more information on this fascinating textile:

Madras lace, also called Madras muslin, is the finest woven lace made today. The manufacturing process is slow – taking a full day to produce 12 yards. Madras muslin has a fine weave with fuzzy edges that soften the design.

In the 1870s Alexander Morton sought to improve the manufacture and marketing of figured muslin, an important industry in his native county of Ayrshire, Scotland. Morton invented a power loom for weaving figured muslin in the mid-1870s and his business flourished. The name Madras muslin was adopted by the trade in reference to the popularity of this fabric in the export market of the Indian port city of Madras. For Aesthetic and Arts & Crafts designers the heritage of figured muslin had a particular appeal. By the early 1880s Madras muslin was being praised as the “simple fabric, now in vogue” and luminaries such as William Morris created patterns for this textile.

This form of cloth has had various names in the textile trade including leno weave muslin and leno gauze. It is produced and marketed by a Scottish lace manufacturer and since the early 20th century Madras muslin has been commonly called Madras lace. Confusion on technical terms caused C.L. Clifford, author of The Lace Dictionary (New York, 1913), to write emphatically, “Madras, a commercial term for a curtain material, not a lace.”
