Oak Wren Poncho from Vixen Ember Birch Trees – 57% cotton, 23% linen, 20% merino
A beautiful, fully reversible poncho made from Vixen Ember Birch Trees. The Ember warp has a graduated blend of 3 rich red shades, shifting from a garnet through to a deep claret and dark purple hinted burgundy.
Our ponchos are made from Oak Wren Studio.
Ponchos are one size.
This poncho is machine washable on a wool specific setting.
The Vixen weft has 3 different yarns woven 1:1:1 to create a unified overall effect. The thickest of these is the merino lambswool- a marled shade that combines flecks of brown, orange and red with a mustard base for a rich autumnal look. The warmth of this yarn is accentuated by the copper Italian supersoft linen, and the whole effect is lifted by a hint of peachy pink Irish ross linen. Overall it creates a subtly textured and vibrant earthy palette which works beautifully against this warp. In terms of previous wefts, Grizedale shows how that splash of salmon pink works with the earthy shades, but vixen won’t be as orange-based as the grizedale. The merino wool is closer in shade to the Firecrest wool, but richer and more saturated in colour than that.
Our limited edition wraps and accessories are made from cloth woven in Lancashire, England from ethically sourced yarns, and are sewn by hand here too! All items are fully reversible, meaning that you can wear them either side out for two different looks to the design.
Woven Wrap Sizing
Wrap sizes don’t work in the same way as clothing.
Size numbers refer to the length of the woven wrap- the larger the number, the longer the wrap.
Each size is 50cm (20”) longer than the previous size.
SIZE 1 = 2.2M (7’2”)
SIZE 2 = 2.7M (8’8”)
SIZE 3 = 3.2M (10’ 8”)
SIZE 4 = 3.7M (12’)
SIZE 5 = 4.2M (13’8)
SIZE 6 = 4.7M (15’4”)
SIZE 7 = 5.2M (17’)
SIZE 8 = 5.7M (18’7”)
SIZE 9 = 6.2M (20’3”)
Each length offers different options for tying, so there isn’t a single size that will ‘fit you.
Your body size will determine how big a wrap you need for tying each specific carry. For example, the Front Wrap Cross Carry is a popular starter carry. Some people will be able to use a size 6 for this carry, but others may need a longer (or shorter) wrap depending on their body and baby size.
