Dancing in the Night is a stunning soft and simple design with yak wool inspired by the deep dark shades if the sky during the winter.
The warp is made of our renown cotton designed in a beautiful soft dark teal color. The weft is a warm dark coffee colored brown yak wool from the Himalaya mountains in Northern India. The cotton combined with the yak wool gives the wrap an amazing softness and a beautiful flow of colors. The pattern is an advanced twill pattern changing for every color block. This ever changing pattern gives the wrap an ever-changing living appearance and gives the wrap a perfect mix of sturdiness and stretch. The wrap has a bit more grip than glide and is perfect for new born babies and strong enough to be used into toodlerhood.
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 as it simply comes off by itself in large piles and the wool can be processed without using harsh chemicals. Yak is very breathable and it regulates the body temperature the same way as sheep’s wool. As the body temperature rises the wool has the ability to transfer heat and moisture along every fiber and release it into the cooler, drier environment, and when the temperature drops it keeps the heat in. 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.
