Default Gauze question

I have a piece of thin cloth that I purchased at Pier 1 Imports years & years & years ago. It's a stripe & we use it just as a light weight, soft piece to drape over us if we get a bit cool while just sitting around, etc. It's soft & thin & my DH loves it. It's got many tears in it that I have been repairing but it's really on it's last leg. Does anyone know about the gauze that is sold in Joann's? It reminds me of a gauze fabric but I'm not sure because I've never really looked a gauze fabric before but just know that I think it's thin & soft.
This is what JoAnn's is selling right now for $5.99 p/yd. Is that a good price? Is there a better price out there? I don't want it to be scratchy against my skin but want it to be soft & very light....lighter than a sheet. Any help would be appreciated.

I have seen cotton “lawn” fabric that is gauze-like and soft. Maybe that’s what you have? I’m not sure what lawn is, or what it’s used for, but I’ve seen it plain and printed. I thing Connecting Threads carried a selection of it at one time.

If you think dingle fold cotton/gauze diapers this is what the fabric is like. Very soft for babies bottoms and older folks too:-) It will shrink when washed so I would plan on a little extra length. I think it would make a great wrap. It will also soften even more when washed.

Our Hobby Lobby carries it also. Its the stuff they make baby wraps out of, but the actual name of it fails me right now!
