Muslin fabric may be made excellently with yarn counts ranging from 300 to 500. The higher the number, the finer the yarn. Most craftspeople, however, do not utilize such fine counts, and it is a skill that has been lost to time. But, after more than 200 years, Mohsena has become Bangladesh's first artist to spin more than 500 yarns. She was instrumental in resurrecting the renowned Muslin cloth, which had become extinct in the 18th century.

For years, she learned to spin yarn from her in-laws, who are members of a Cumilla Khadi weaving family. When authorities from the state-run Muslin revival project went hunting for quality yarn spinners, they came across Mohsena and a group of other Chandina village women.

Mohsena made the initiative to weave finer yarn. She was eventually able to spin 500 count yarn by hand, which is impossible for a machine to do. Following this, the handloom board hired her as a trainer to help teach scores of new Muslin yarn spinners. And one of her trainees, a poor woman from Chandina, smashed Mohsena's record last year. She spun yarn with a count of 731, which is possibly a world record.
