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

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?

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
