Any old cloth will do. I use an ancient cloth handkerchief.

@Spontaneo Hubby says that nylon is okay to about 300 degrees so it should be okay but no on putting it in a pressure cooker.

Can you do this method with spice such as clove in a Crock-Pot?

@sallypup if a regular sock, and in a Crock-Pot, should I just have on low?

You can use any piece of cloth so long as it's clean. The bottom of a stocking or an old pair of tights works well or an old handkerchief. Muslin or cheesecloth was what was traditionally used because it was cheap and usually readily available back in the day.

I have a big metal tea strainer with a tight lid, I use that for most of the cheesecloth requested spices. If I used a sock, it would have to be a new one, I don't think I would want to use an old sock and then eat the food. My socks are clean, but....nah.
