Soft, lightweight cotton wraps with natural texture for layering, draping and delicate newborn photography styling.

Our 100% cotton cheesecloth wraps add a beautiful, organic finish to newborn setups without the heaviness of knitted fabrics. Use them as a decorative top layer over a stretchy base wrap, to add soft folds around a posing surface or to introduce subtle texture into your styling.

Choose from different colours and lengths, or build your studio palette with bundles of 3, 5 or 7 wraps.

Cheesecloth vs Gauze — Which Should You Choose?

Both our cheesecloth and gauze wraps are made from 100% cotton, but they create different looks.

Cheesecloth — More Texture & Volume

Our cheesecloth has a more visible, naturally crinkled texture. It creates soft folds and adds a relaxed, organic character to newborn photographs.

Choose cheesecloth when you want the fabric to bring noticeable texture to your setup.

Gauze — Finer, Lighter & More Delicate

Our gauze is made from a significantly finer cotton fabric, with a more subtle texture and a lighter, more transparent appearance.

Choose gauze when you want an airy, delicate layer with less visible fabric texture.

In short: choose cheesecloth for more texture and volume, or gauze for a finer, more transparent finish.

Which Wrap Length Do You Need?

• 1 metre — for smaller decorative accents, draping and light layering.

• 2 metres — for more fabric to arrange around your setup and create soft folds.

• 3 metres — for fuller layering, longer drapes and more styling flexibility.

The best length depends on how you plan to use the fabric and how much material you prefer to work with.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are cheesecloth wraps stretchy?

Not like a stretch wrap. The crinkled weave may allow a little natural give, but cheesecloth is best suited to decorative layering, draping and adding texture rather than providing firm support.

Are cheesecloth and gauze wraps see-through?

Both can be semi-transparent, depending on the fabric and how it's layered. Our finer gauze is more transparent than the more textured cheesecloth.

Can I use cheesecloth over a stretchy wrap?

Yes. A stretchy wrap can provide the secure base wrapping, while cheesecloth adds a decorative outer layer. Always ensure the baby is safely positioned and supported.

How do I wash cheesecloth wraps?

Machine wash with mild detergent, wash separately and avoid bleach. Tumble drying is permitted according to the product care instructions.
