There is something about this wrap that makes me want to prance about in the fields by our house. I imagine that blue tits would braid my hair as I skipped in the sunlight. This elven fantasy may be in part fuelled by our current bedtime reading of Enid Blyton’s classic “The Enchanted Wood”, but I imagine […]
Undine Glasto Seafoam is an elements weave wrap woven in 100% combed cotton with dual coloured weft. The passes glide effortlessly for a snug, moulded carry and the elements weave makes it an incredibly hardwearing wrap. A medium weight wrap suitable for all ages. Available now in our shop, here
A blanket review written for us by May. Some of these blankets are labelled as dry clean only, however we personally machine wash and tumble dry them (and newer care labels will say to machine wash). It changes the texture of the blanket a little, but we still find them as appealing, and almost more […]
Thank you to May for testing and reviewing 925 Twilight Starmap for us. The weft was still unnamed when we sent it out to her and so she nicknamed it “Ziggy Starmap” which will remain our pet name for this wrap! “When I heard I’d be testing a new Silver Twilight Starmap I was pretty […]
Understanding and Caring for Wraps
Creases: Perma Creasing, Wash Creasing and Threadshifting in Woven Wraps
There are two terms that are a regular part of the babywearing vocabulary relating to movement of threads in the cloth structure- “perma-creasing” and “thread-shifting”. We’ve identified a 3rd different type of creasing too- wash creasing. This is often mis-described as perma-creasing, but the two are quite distinct. It is useful for us all to […]
Our Spindrift (hemp) Twilight Seafoam proved such a hit as a sort of ‘classic‘ firespiral that we wanted to create a counterpart timeless starmap in our original silver and twilight colour way; something that celebrates all that linen has to offer. This time we chose to make a thicker weight wrap that despite its weight still embodied […]
Last summer we released Eclipse Obsidian Seafoam, and we knew straight away that we had to revisit those sparkling weft colours in some form on our Twilight warp. There are some notable differences between Eclipse and the new Deep Ocean Seafoam. This new weft is dual coloured as the eclipse was, but is 100% combed cotton. […]
I’ve had 3 babies and, thinking back, I have no idea how I would have coped without being able to breastfeed in the sling. My eldest was a fussy, ‘colicky’ baby who needed to be swaddled, shushed, fed and rocked in order to help him settle. I would wrap him, latch him on and walk […]
It is a good while since we last released a cashmere blend wrap. We have not found a direct supplier of cashmere to date who can demonstrate the level of ethical assurance that we would require to make cashmere a standard line. We currently use surplus yarn, spun in the UK for a clothing company who […]
Given that this wrap is quite different to our others I thought it might be interesting to have some more information about how it handles. I’d washed this wrap once (I think it needs another wash to get the wool properly out of loomstate) and it hadn’t been broken in or worn. I think you […]
