throw / 8-layer gauze

A grown-up-sized version of our iconic baby blanket, in a throw.  Made of thick and silky-soft cotton gauze that's both warm and breathable, it's just the best to cozy up with on the couch. Parents love that our throw doubles as our thickest bed blanket for a toddler or twin bed...   ~~~~~~~~   What makes this throw great:   GOTS-certified cotton From seed to fiber, and from yarn to loom, this product has tested free from pesticides and other toxins and meets the highest standards for purity. GOTS certification of our fabric ensures that it is genuinely organic, and that the highest level of nontoxic, GOTS-certified agents have been applied in the dyeing and finishing of the final product.   Long staple cotton fibers The yarn used to make this fabric is composed of long staple cotton fibers. Long staple cotton encounters less microscopic breakage over time (longer fiber = stronger fiber). With proper care, your fabric will stay softer over time than cottons made with shorter fiber yarns.   Garment dye & wash This product is sewn prior to being dyed and receiving a final, softening wash. This method produces a richer texture cotton gauze that cannot be achieved if the fabric is fully processed prior to sewing. Small openings in the weave where threads join different layers of fabric together are visible along the entire surface of many other gauzes. Our garment dye and wash method makes this part of the fabric's construction invisible, allowing you to experience a more beautiful surface appearance for the lifetime of your gauze. (Undyed products are not garment dyed--only garment washed to achieve final texture.)   We thought you might also want to know…   This gauze is 25% denser than our previous version, and denser than any other gauze we've encountered.   This gauze passed our rigorous test for staying soft and resisting pilling over the course of many launderings.   ~~~~~~~~   + Size: 56” x 72" + 100% GOTS certified organic cotton + Composed of 8 breathable layers of cotton gauze + Machine wash cold, delicate cycle.
