“Whinlatter is a beast at first, and yes, probably still a beast, but a lovely beast. It is heavy in hand, but not at all hard to wrap with. It has a lot of grip which makes the wrap very forgiving, but I don’t think it is hard to wrap with when using double layers either. It has some glide probably because of the pattern, which helps it glide into place pretty easy. The cotton gives the wrap some stretch which gives some nice hugs, but the linen makes it steady and it doesn’t really have any significant bounce. It is, as I mentioned, a thick wrap and the knot gets nice and big. Normally my shoulders don’t like linen that much but this wrap is couchy and the weave somehow makes it work, and they didn’t scream for help once (!) I have it as a base, but I have even used it for a simple ruck as well and it is a really great toddler wrap, both as a shorty and as a base.”
Notes: Whinlatter is named after a forest covered fell in the Lake District of the UK. We have used our Spring Birches design for this wrap (the one with more foliage and ferns at the base of the trees). Every Whinlatter wrap is slightly unique due to the variety of weft yarns that we have used to make up the run.
The Midnight warp was due to be Twilight, but it came out a bit of a darker blue than our standard Twilight colour (and we didn’t want to wait to have more dyed for us). It is slightly cooler and deeper than twilight, but works perfectly against the autumnal colours of the whinlatter weft.
