Mmm pink chooks (as I had heard them affectionately called). I have only ever seen photos and never one IRL. Looks lovely.

I am waiting for Girasol light rainbow to arrive but the order is being placed on Wednesday and has arrive from overseas. I can't wait!

Sun, what wrap are you using? I really want to try that carry, but my only woven is just a piece of fabric I had lying around and it's only five metres long - I guess that carry needs a long wrap?

So you can this one is just plain thin cotton, and it wasnt ideal. What sort of woven would people recommend? I'm guessing actual wraps have a more open weave and a very slight stretch to them on the bias?

 

[hot tea]

Wovens do not stretch.

I would recommend 4.2 to 4.7 meters, no shorter. Longer would be fine. Get something medium-thin in weave, thick can be hard to wrap with at first. Also, get something with rails (different colored stripes). They are a grea way to learn how to wrap snugly, as you can locate where the top of the wrap is, the positioing, etc.

Didymos stripes works well, natibaby stripes is a bit cheaper. Girosol are good learners wraps. Didymos is the most expensive of the options.

Babywearing wraps 'German Style Woven' have a verrrrry slight diagonal stretch.

Get yer bum on Natural Mamas (yep, another forum to stalk you on ), they have an excellent trade board x

My wrap is 4.7m and I have lots left over. I have a didymos 50% hemp that I am loving, but the material is quite grippy so is a bit harder to get snug. It has a bit of stretch on the diagonal but none lengthwise or widthwise. I just bought another last week (Vatanai) and went for a shorter wrap (4m) that I think will be better for me, but the 4.7m (size 6 in didymos) is the most popular length for versatility. xx

Also love your pic!

Oh I'm also interested in this! I've been reading about it on the baby wearer and am considering getting one - maybe a size 3?
