Inspired by the beautiful flowering butterfly bushes, this wrap is a stunning graduating medley in deep purple and violet with a touch of lilac slowly melting into shades of green. The warp is made of our Ugandan cotton and the weft is the softest yak wool. The weft is a warm medium brown which gives the wrap a beautiful subtle appearance. The wrap is handwoven in our renown Wild Roses crackle weaving pattern consisting of larger areas of plain weave combined with longer flotations. The pattern combined with the yak wool, gives the wrap a perfect mix of sturdiness and stretch. The wrap very quickly becomes amazingly soft and has a bit more grip than glide. It is perfect for newborns and smaller babies, and strong enough to be used into toodlerhood and beyond.
Yak wool is an exclusive wool which has been used by nomads in the Trans-Himalayan region for over a thousand years. Yak wool is considered a completely sustainable wool because yaks are raised in nature in the highlands around the himalayan region, and does not require intense grazing. The wool is collected in a non-invasive manner and the wool can be processed without using harsh chemicals. Yak is very breathable and it regulates the body temperature extremely well. This means that the wrap can be used both summer and winter. Furthermore, unlike most wool, the yak’s coat does not contain lanolin and is therefore relatively unlikely to cause itch or other allergic reactions. Please note that the wool is very soft and fine and can become a bit fluffy with use. This is completely normal with natural materials and makes them even more soft. The fluff can be removed with a lint remover.
