Cotton double gauze fabric is composed of two separate layers of fine open-weave cotton that are finely stitched together at regular intervals. This airy textile is incredibly lightweight and soft: its two-ply construction leaves a tiny bit of air between both layers that creates an extra breathable feel in the summer, and traps the perfect amount of body heat in the winter. Double gauze has a natural distinctive crinkle, and is best used for breezy, looser-fitting garments and baby clothes.
