Oh excellent! Gorgeous wrap and it will make a great summer shorty! Let us know how the linen is - I'm dying to get an Oscha linen shorty but haven't ever tried one. From what I hear the linen takes a bit more breaking in, but is amazing once it is! Also linen is very supportive for heavy babies and toddlers. Also the Oscha grads are sooooo beautiful!

I only like rucks TT, but my Jade is pretty good as just a ruck.

lozzy - I have to really spread the material over my boobs or the rails dig in. Once I have it right then I find it way more supportive, but it's hit or miss if I can get it right. Yesterday I could have worn LO for hours and today I managed 1/2h before I had to retie into a double hammock.

Thanks guys! its everything I was hoping for! its pretty seriously stiff compared to my broken in aqua waves

I wrapped with it straight out of the box of course because I had to but it was a terrible wrap job (RTIF). I've spent most of the night braiding it and now its in the wash. I know I'm going to love the linen! its already softer than out of the box. I'm thinking of sleeping with it tonight.

I'll post some pics when I wrap with it again. Its beautiful and LO looks good in it!

OOH nice - I can't wait to see!

Oh and don't get me started on Oscha's! I would love one! I'm thinking of buying something used that I can strip and dye green someday, or maybe a b&w Pfau? We'll see. I'm absolutely positive DH will not let me build more of a stash than the 3 wraps I have so I'll have to sell something.

I just got my first woven, so far I only know one wrap I think its a ruck and I'm not great at it yet so need more practice.
I shall be following this thread to see what other people are doing.

I've also been looking into getting a natural wrap and custom dying it. I'm sure I would make a total mess of it though

There are some ladies who do it professionally and it is so gorgeous, but that would be taking my addiction a bit further I think.

But a B/W pfau would be GORGEOUS dyed green! I would love to try one out, but they are a wee bit pricey for me at the moment. I have decided to be happy with what I have for the next few months at least. I'm thinking of selling one of mine to fund the Oscha though!

Hello!

What did you get?

Nice that your first carry is a ruck!

I waited a while before I tried that one out, but now I really like it tied tibetan. It's still not my comfiest carry, but definitely one of the fastest I can do now. Feel free to post pics!
I love seeing wrapping pics x

I saw a B&W indio dyed dark green and nearly bought it! It was a size 3 too, exactly like I wanted but then I heard that Indio's tend to snag and I want to use my 3 outside and in the garden etc. I saw a pic of a B&W Pfau dyed green and it was gorgeous! I almost bought a Leo Natur in the storch co-op but I'm not totally confident in my dying skills and I'm not a big fan of natural colors in general. Amazon sells Storch though and I have a gift card my mom gave me for my birthday....I probably won't though.

I'll take some pics with the Clematis this weekend. She's already softening up nice. I washed and dried her on low last night. Definitely softer than out of the box!

Here's an action shot of wrapping today with the clematis! I know her seat isn't great but it felt fine. She's a leg straightener so I struggle with her seat anyway. Enjoy!

I like reinforced ruck and double hammock at the moment. I use rucks for quick ups though x
