Is the wrap being reviewed a reweave of another original release? If so please tell which version you have?

This is a standard line wrap


Does it have cush?
It is so beautifully cushy! I want a blanket made out of it. It is perfectly soft and cushy for my newborn and also has enough cush to be comfortable on my shoulders when wearing my older kids. It molds really well around all of my children.

How does it feel on your shoulders?
 It felt marvelous on my shoulders thanks to the cushiness. I really loved this wrap.

How much diagonal stretch does the wrap have?
It has enough diagonal stretch to make it mold really well to my child but not too much to make it saggy for the older kids. Can you tell I'm smitten with this wrap?

How supportive did you find it in a single layer carry?
I tried both a kangaroo carry with the newborn and a ruck with the older kids and both were very comfortable and supportive.


How supportive did you find it in a double layer carry?
It couldn't have been more perfect in a double layer carry! It was easy to tighten too. It slid nicely while tightening but then stayed solid once in place.

Can you compare this wrap to another wrap already on the market?
It reminds me of a well loved girasol or storch leo. Perfectly soft, comfortable, and moldable.

Who do you think this wrap would best be geared to?
I would say this would be perfect for everyone. It wraps easily and is comfortable which makes it perfect for new babywearers. It was also supportive with all three of my kids of varying ages. It has a price that can't be beat too!



Would you recommend this wrap to a friend? Why? What did you love about it?
Yes for sure. The color is beautiful, the wrap is supportive, and because it is all cotton, I don't feel the need to baby it at all, so it would be great for an all day outing somewhere. I've been showing it to everyone the past few weeks and they have all loved it! I'm definitely going to recommend this brand to everyone looking to try out a new brand.


Please tell us a little more about yourself:
I have been wearing for almost 5 years. I am a trained CBWS (Center for Babywearing Studies) consultant and am a VBE (Volunteer Babywearing Educator) and the President of Babywearing International of Chicagoland. I have three children: an almost 5 yr old, an almost 3 yr old, and a 2 month old.

How to fix a pull in a woven wrap      If you are just joining us. Welcome!!! Welcome to the best blog you will ever read, (hehe). We are currently doing a blog series called "How to care and fix that woven wrap of yours".  The first post was an introduction and gave you the run down on how to care for your woven wrap .

How to make your woven wrap soft and floppy, otherwise known as breaking it in

By
You just received your wrap, but it's not as soft, floppy and cuddly as you were hoping for? Don't despair!  We'll help you get that wrap buttery soft and floppy! Okay, how do you get it to change? There are several tried and true methods, but the simple answer....break down the fibers by moving them.   Friction against them will wear them down. When you first get your wrap, give it a wash and dry  (following the washing instructions per blend)  This step will dramatically change the wrap right away and you'll notice that it's not as stiff. Give it a steam iron, or two or three (depending on the fiber) Steam ironing will break the fibers down quickly.  I've also noticed that when I steam iron it width wise it helps more then when I steam iron it moving the iron from side to side. That may just be my little quirk of mine though... Pull it through sling rings,if you have them.   If not create a loop and pull the rest of
