The Mountain is designed by our amazing photographer Gunilla. Once again she has challenged the weavers and managed to get them to produce one of the most stunning designs ever!
The Mountain is a unique wrap filled with endless artisan details. The warp in a stunning and soft graduation from dark subtle teal and blue melting into olive, rust and earthy brown shades followed by warm burned yellow. The weft is the softest middle brown yak wool in a single thread making the wrap light and soft. The pattern is our iconic crackle weave pattern with longer flotations and areas with plain weave. The pattern combined with the yak fibers provides the wrap with an amazing softness and a supportive diagonal stretch and a bit more grip than glide. The wrap is perfect for newborns, perfectly supportive for larger babies and strong enough to be used into toddlerhood.
Through out the warp are placed artistic inlays in handspun organic cotton in different colors and thicknesses. Each piece also has several of areas pf clasp weft creating beautiful seismographic patterns in artisan ways.
Yak wool is an high-end exclusive wool, and 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. 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 becomes a bit fluffy with use. This is completely normal with high-end natural materials and makes them even more soft.
