Cotton, and why the staple matters
Gauze uses a very loosely spun cotton yarn, which is what gives it that dry, crinkled surface. The looseness is the point: a tightly spun yarn would make a flat, ordinary cloth.

For fabrics that improve as they age.
Several layers of gauze stitched together. It plumps in the wash and gets softer with time.
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Tumble dry low or hang dry. Wash separately for the first few cycles: deep and saturated colours release a little dye at first. Do not bleach, do not dry clean.
Textured weaves such as seersucker, waffle and gauze are meant to look relaxed: they need no ironing, and they soften with every wash.

The fabric
Several fine layers held together at intervals. Warm because of the air between them.

Gauze uses a very loosely spun cotton yarn, which is what gives it that dry, crinkled surface. The looseness is the point: a tightly spun yarn would make a flat, ordinary cloth.

Two, three or four layers are woven separately and joined at intervals, trapping still air between them. That air insulates without adding weight, which is why gauze is warm in a way a single thick blanket never is.

Wash it and it comes out more textured than it went in. That is the finished look, not a fault. Never iron gauze; pressing it flat destroys the loft that makes it warm.
A single layer would be. Ours are four layers, so they are not, and they have real weight in the hand.
The open weave can catch on a rough nail or a ring. Wash it on its own or with soft items and it holds up for years.
As a throw, yes, layered over a duvet. As a duvet cover on its own, it is a summer fabric.
