What Exactly Is Double Gauze?

Commonly made out of 100% cotton, double gauze fabric is created by basting two layers of fine open weave fabric together to create a soft and airy fabric that is a pleasure to wear. This fabric has a vintage lived-in look that makes it suitable for a variety of casual garments all year. The crinkles in the fabric will become more pronounced after the first wash.

Double gauze is an eco-friendly and sustainable option because it is made of 100% natural fibre, which easily degrades in our natural environment.

Care Instruction for Double Gauze?

Warm Wash up to 30 / Line Dry / No Bleaching (including optical brighteners and whitening agents) / No Tumble Dry / No Dry Cleaning / Low Iron

It is recommended that you prewash double gauze before sewing because cotton/natural fibres shrink after the first wash. Lay your fabric flat after washing to prevent it from drying out of shape.
