Soft, lightweight and breathable, double gauze is good for loose pants, shirts and tops, dresses, wraps and other clothing, baby clothes and blankets, etc.
Komorebi (木漏れ日) is a Japanese word that describes the play of sunlight through leaves and the dancing shadows it creates on the ground. The word is made up of three "kanji", that together mean "sunlight filtering through trees". The name Nani IRO comes from the Hawaiian words "nani" (beautiful) and "IRO" (color, harmony). It is a brand designed by Japanese watercolor painter and textile designer Naomi Ito.

- Construction: Double gauze is made by stitching two thin layers of cotton gauze together at regular intervals. The loose weave of each layer, combined with the double layer, gives the fabric a bit of a spongy, fluffy, or springy feel. Sometimes they get more crinkly over time. This one, unwashed, isn't crinkly.
- Opacity: Double gauze is semi-opaque and can be see-through in lighter colors.
- Care: Hand or machine was delicate/cool. Tumble dry low or air dry. Double gauze requires a lot of pressing, especially after washing. It's recommended to use a cotton setting on the iron and to apply a lot of steam. Pre-washing/drying the fabric is also important, as is the way you plan to launder the finished garment. Expect a lot of shrinkage as the open weave gauze closes up.
