May one move muchin (soft materials such as cotton, fleece, or worn cloth) on Shabbat if they were used incidentally to insulate a pot on Erev Shabbat without prior designation?

Synopsis

Muchin used casually to insulate a pot on Erev Shabbat without prior designation are muktzeh and may not be moved directly. The cover may be shaken so they fall off, provided part of the cover is exposed. If designated in advance, they may be moved freely.
