"Birds Eye" Cotton Double Gauze from Japan by Nani Iro, 41" Wide By the Yard #EGX-11180-1D
This white, pale lavender, gray, gold, brown and sparkly white print "Birds Eye" is printed from an abstract illustration by Naomi Ito.
Two layers of light, thin, soft 100% cotton gauze are tacked together at regular intervals. The loose weave of each layer gives the fabric a bit of a spongy, fluffy, springy texture and very soft feel. Interesting effects can be achieved if the artisan used a print as the underneath layer as it appears this one is. Double gauze is semi-opaque and lighter colors especially may be a bit see-through. The print spans the 41" width of the fabric; the whole width is shown in the second and the last photos. Soft, lightweight and breathable, double gauze is good for loose pants, shirts and tops, scarves, skirts, loose jackets, nightwear, dresses, wraps and other clothing, baby clothes and blankets, robes and pajamas, household linens, windows, decor, etc.
100% Cotton Double Gauze. Width 41". From Japan. New, not vintage. Limited supply and sold by the full yard; minimum order 1 yard. Yours will be a continuous piece cut for you from the bolt. $22.00/yard.
- Care: Hand or machine wash delicate/cool. Tumble dry low, or air dry. Press using cotton setting with steam. Pre-washing/drying the fabric is also important, as is the way you plan to launder the finished garment. Expect shrinkage and maybe soft crinkling as the open weave gauze closes up.
