I'm looking for a large piece of material to use for a blanket (odd request I know). Is this similar to the gauze type cotton? aka lightweight/soft?

Probably not. It's definitely not gauze like, it's not super heavy but it's not light weight either. It's softer than other muslim I've had as a backdrop but I wouldn't want to use this to cover me at night!

No it is not soft.. I do not see anyone using this as a blanket.. I hope this is helpful...

It is very light weight. I would think it would be better to use this particular material for a mummy costume. It's very transparent and see-through almost like gauze bandage, but in a bigger roll.

It is a large thin blanket. It is made out of a silky poncho like material. Thy are amazing and very warm and light weight. Love them and will buy more. A lot like my dads original army blanket he has at home

It's almost like a thick corduroy. It's not a soft plush material. I like it, it is something I feel will last quite a while and wouldn't tear easily.

I think it would be more like polyester not a crinkly papery material. Very quiet and soft. You will not be disappointed.

I couldn't find a tag on the blanket, but it appears to be cotton. It's not real thick as wool would probably be, but it's not real thin either. You might ask the people who ship the item.

It is made from a cotton synthetic blend. It is very soft, almost like the soft kinky fabric that baby blankets are made from. I would obviously recommend using a pillow case over it, but it is quite soft on its own

I just bought the 3ply prefold and they are so thin. I usually sew on them to make them pretty but I don't like the new weight, so I caved and purchased the heavyweight gauze prefold, and they are very nice for burp cloths. that is what I would recommend. they are sold in a 5 pack for about 12.50 (at walmart if you can find them) here are the heavy weigh gauze I ended up buying instead. http://www.amazon.com/Gerber-Count-Heavyweight-Gauze-Prefold/dp/B007VBYVXI/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1402663499&sr=8-3&keywords=gerber+cloth+diaper just about the same price as walmart

The manufacturer just released a lighter-weight version, where the inner and outer layers are both cotton. I now have my son sleeping in that one, and he is able to maintain a comfy temperature. (If you go to Facebook and like their page, you can get 15% off your order! and if you buy 2, you get another 15% off). I haven't seen the lightweight one on amazon yet. I do still make sure to keep baby's room around 70 degrees at night though.

It really is more like a generic shammy. So it takes up little room when expanded and refolded. It went around me and worked well while camping. I have now used it for dusting and washing my car. Really not what you might think as a beach towel.

Sure you could...either hem with needle and thread or use duct tape. Will look like crapbut it could work if you don't care what it looks like. BTW...this is not a very large blanketso if cut in half will be very small / short. Would not recommend doing this unless you have a very compelling reason to alter the blanket.

hello---it is a 4 inch wide gauze roll 4. yards long...it is used to go around arm,leg,foot,hand,finger etc. to hold a gauze pad in place instead of using tape. tape comes off,hurts to remove pulls hairs. gauze is far superior to use. there is no ply business it is not a gauze pad. it is a roll of gauze. do you understand what item is now ? i can't look bacvk at ad now or my post will erase. i think you get 12 rolls. and they are sterile i believe. price is cheap. give a try . you can use in place of a gauze pad as well. just wash wound soap and water. put hydrogen 3% peroxide,alcohol,betadine,antibiotic ointment,zinc oxide,johnsons and johnson first air cream or whatever you like on you wound. then wrap it with the gauze roll. then tape it with micropore tape to keep from unraveling.

You may want to stick with the blanket Idea. I have not found a great option for mine either. Sorry for the bad news.

Yes, the gauze is kaolin-laced (a clotting agent) roller gauze with a X-Ray strip (can be easily identified by X-Ray imaging). In gauze form though it is more practical to be stuffed into wounds, making it better than the sponge as well as the preferred form by the US Army. (-A US Army 68W Combat Medic)

We have a king size down alternative cotton cover blanket. If the king size fits in your washer than go ahead and wash it in your washer. We really like it and would recommend it to others.

Yes - surprisingly well. It's very light weight, so don't expect a heavy blanket. I use it to cover and protect my couch (we have dogs) and it's the perfect weight.

I used this blanket all summer, but as it gets colder will probably switch back to a heavier down comforter. I would not say it is very silky, but more cotton-like and cool.
