Backdrop Muslin

Need help with a backdrop?
I'm building my own studio and next thing I buy is a backdrop. I just want a plain black for now, or white possssibly. The only values are decent you can find muslin. Is this really well for studio photography? It seems very see-through, but this effect is not obvious once it's actually hanging? This is probably the best I've seen so far: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Background-6M-x-3M-100-Cotton-Black-Muslin-Backdrop_W0QQitemZ170278781211QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Photography_StudioEquipment_RL?hash=item170278781211&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms = 72% 3A1300 | 66% 3A2 | 65% 3A12 | 39% 3A1 | 240% 3A1318 What other materials would you recommend? If there is one that does not let light would be a bonus. Moreover, I do not use paper – only cloth.
Its 100% cotton and folds like no tomorrow. You need a steamer also wrinkles, but be warned, fabrics are cheaper end ugly. Most people new to photography studio stasrt with cloth and quickly migrate to a paper roll and flatter their less of a pain in the ass. Nothing says "amateur" like a fabric backdrop full of wrinkles! If you flash sync speeds of 1/250th ie natural light will not show through.
