How to wash a wool woven wrap.

Wool wraps have become some of my favorite to use throughout the years.   For a long time, I was scared of wool and wasn't sure how to care for it.  Once I realized that it really wasn't hard to wash the wool wraps, I jump right on into that rabbit hole and I'm so thankful that I did! We hope you enjoy this step by step picture tutorial and enjoy wrapping your little one in the softest, cushiest woven wrap blend.  Looking for a wool wrap?  You'll find them here:   Woolies Choose your wool wrap and a safe wool wash. The one I have here is called Eucalan. Follow directions and add the correct amount for what you are washing. I add one cap full for one smaller wrap. Add your wrap to tepid water.

Once all the water is gone, squeeze the wrap to get as much water ou...

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!
