Double cotton gauze is a soft, airy fabric made from two layers of cotton gauze fused together. It features the loose, open weave of cotton gauze but with greater opacity, warmer hand, and a more full-bodied drape. Similar in texture to cheesecloths (a smooth, buttery, gauze-like cloth with a fine weave) and bandage fabrics (a flat, uniform, tightly woven mesh), they are lightweight and slightly crinkled for a cozy look. Equally popular with designers and new moms who carry their babies in slings across their bodies, this comfortable, double-layered woven is a fantastic material for warm swaddling blankets or women’s apparel such as breezy tunics, dresses, or skirts.
