Is six layers too warm for summer?

Muslin is breathable, and six layers add weight without trapping heat the way a quilted synthetic blanket does. For hot rooms, use it as a play mat or stroller cover rather than a covering layer.

How does it compare with a single-layer muslin swaddle?

Single-layer muslins are thin and best for swaddling. Six layers make this one warmer, more absorbent and sturdier for floor time, but it is heavier and dries more slowly.

Is the cotton really organic?

The material states GOTS-certified organic cotton and no dye. GOTS covers the fiber, processing and dyeing, so it is a stricter standard than a generic organic claim.

It is machine washable. Wash with like colors on a gentle cycle and tumble low or line dry; the muslin softens further with each wash.

What can I use a 48-inch square for?

It works as a blanket, floor play rug, bath towel, stroller cover, change mat or scarf. The square size is large enough to cover a crib mattress or wrap around a toddler.
