This lightweight cotton gauze swaddling blanket was carefully hand tied and dyed measuring approximately 47"x47". Each individual blanket is dyed using non toxic fiber reactive dye. Gauze fabric is a safe alternative to other fabrics to protect your baby from over heating. The material is lightweight and breathes well and helps regulate your baby's body temperature. Gauze also becomes softer and softer with use and washing. All of my handmade items are proudly made in the USA in a smoke free home. Items are sent to you prewashed in a natural vinegar solution. **Due to the nature of the item, your blanket may differ slightly with pattern placement and intensity of color than picture shown.
