Thick Does it have cush? Look up cush in the dictionary - it probably says Autumn Blaze. This is the cushiest wrap I have ever wrapped with! Marshmallowy soft. Super moldable! Nice grip! How does it feel on your shoulders? At first wrap I had a difficult time with the shoulders. There seemed to be so much fabric I just couldn’t get it to sit comfortably.

How much diagonal stretch does the wrap have? I would classify this wrap as medium stretchiness. How supportiv

Breaking in a woven wrap

You just received your wrap, but it's not as soft, floppy and cuddly as you were hoping for? Don't despair! I remember when I purchased my first woven wrap years ago, after wrapping with a Moby for awhile.  I was a bit shocked at how crunchy and stiff it was.  I almost gave up on wrapping, thinking that it wasn't for me (lol, imagine that!)  At the time, I had no wrapper friends locally so I'd never felt what a woven wrap was supposed to feel like and I was disappointed to be quite honest.  Long story short, I sold that woven and purchased an old used Didymos Paul.  It was love at first feel!  Paul was everything I dreamt woven wraps would be, moldable, cuddly and soft like a baby blanket.

Medium thin Does it have cush? Believe it or not this wrap is cushy and soft. It molds so nicely to the wrapper and baby. Not to mention how solid this wrap it. It’s not marshmalloy or pillowy, but when doubled over it’s very nice on the shoulders. How does it feel on your shoulders? This was very nice and flat on my shoulders due to the thin nature. It was easily spread out or doubled over while wrapping. How much diagonal stretch does the wrap have? Milori does not have a lot of stretch, but I would assume with some more time to break in it might develop more stretch
