Forest Secrets is a stunning baby wrap designed with a warp in cotton and weft in soft yak wool. It is inspired by the earthy green and natural shades of the deep forest telling us that natures has endless of secrets.
The warp is made of our renown cotton designed in a beautiful soft graduating medley in teal and green shades slowly melting into warm nuances of lighter green and sand. The weft consist of tree different shades of natural yak wool: dark brown, middle brown and light grey-brown. The yak wool is sourced from a small spinning mill in 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 our iconic advanced twill pattern where both weft color and pattern is changing for every 5-15 centimeter. The changing pattern gives the wrap an ever-changing appearance and provides the wrap with 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.
Throughout the wrap are placed inlays in different shades creating artisan lines of softness.
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 do 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.
