Eucalyptus Organic Cotton Hooded Towel
- Unit price
- /per
We are a little obsessed with covering up our little ones in the most beautiful comfortable fabrics we can. A perfect throw on after lots of water play.
Eucalyptus
You can’t grow up in Australia and not know about eucalyptus. The smell of the leaves, the look of the tree it’s all a part of our childhood. The eucalyptus is believed to be a holy tree for the Indigenous Peoples of Australia. It is said to represent the division of the underworld, between heaven and earth. It is also meant to have a purifying effect and can be used to get rid of negative energy, which explains why mum would pour eucalyptus oil onto the floor of a hot shower when we were sick. Eucalyptus is strong and adaptable like we hope our kids will be and for that reason we had to have them in our collection.
Swaddles, Sheets, Towels, Comforter
All of these beautiful items are made from the softest organic GOTS cotton we could find, but to make them last as long as possible: wash separately, use a laundry bag, mild detergent, then cold gentle machine wash and cool tumble dry or air dry. If you're going to air dry feel free to roll them up to dry - it only makes the crinkly that much better.
The Softie
These gorgeous throws are super soft, we can’t say it enough, but they do need care and they do snag, so we’re giving you a heads up about it. It’s the nature of the fabric but we won’t even share ours with our kids (we had to buy them their own) so we suggest sticking them in a laundry bag and do a careful hand wash then fold them to dry them and let them crinkle away. We do stick ours straight into the washer and then the dryer in a laundry bag and they just get softer and crinklier but if you are worried – handwash, hand dry and use with caution! The brief: wash separately, use a laundry bag, mild detergent, then cold gentle machine wash and cool tumble dry or air dry and snuggle away.

FAQ's
Gauze is a lightweight material often referred to as muslin. It is a loosely woven cotton fabric. We have chosen to use 100% certified GOTS organic cotton. Our gauze fabric has either 2, 4 or 8 thin layers of gauze and each layer is carefully attached to the one below with small threads. It is these threads that give us that beautful crinkle effect once they're washed and dried. It is a breathable textile but so warm when layered - so go ahead and use it all year long.
Have a look on each product page to see how many organic GOTS cotton layers there are.

This is an easy one! Just throw them in the wash (don't forget to check washing instructions) and dry them. We suggest putting them straight into the wash as it helps the open weave to close and there's less chance of damage to the material. We suggest reading the postcard with washing instructions that we sent you.
It's meant to! That's the beauty of this fabric. It gets softer and crinklier with age and use - kind of like what we don't want as humans but definitely want with our gauze.
With use it actually just gets better. Please follow the Care Guide on our website or have a look at the postcard we sent you - it has the info there as well!
We would say don't. It's made from the highest grade of GOTS certified organic cotton. If you use bleach or any other synthetic cleaning agent it will affect the chemical free nature of the gauze fibres and may also strip away their softness.
Gauze is a loose, open weave, it can snag if it gets caught on something. Please note that Little Myrtle cannot be held responsible for snags or any other damage to your goods once they have been handled, laundered, or have otherwise entered into use. To protect your item from getting snagged during laundering, wash and dry without items that have zippers, hooks, or anything that could catch on the fibers. You might also put your gauze item in a mesh wash bag for washing and drying. Be sure that the wash bag is large enough so that that item isn't tightly bunched up. This allows water and detergent to flow through the fabric in the washing machine, and air to circulate in the dryer.
Lastly, we do not recommend throwing anything like a drying ball in the dryer with your gauze. These have the potential to strip your gauze of its softness and we wouldn't want that.
A needle and thread can fix the snag. Take a threaded needle then knot the thread to the loop of the snag. Use the attached needle and thread, pull the snag through the back of the fabric. This will hide it inside the layers of gauze. Once you pull the needle and thread through to the back of the fabric, snip the sewing thread short enough so that it’s hidden inside the fabric. I got my mum to help me with this. I also blamed her for not teaching me how to sew.
