Luxury Baby Wraps | Solnce Woven Wrap Carriers (11)

Genesis Murasaki is woven on the purple combed Egyptian cotton warp with natural hemp and mulberry silk yarn for the weft. It will take a little effort to break in the hemp yarn. However, afterwards you will be rewarded with a solid, strong, supportive, but floppy and easy going wrap. This wrap is great for heavier babies and toddlers. Once broken in, it is suitable for the newborns as well. I would recommend this wrap to wrappers experienced in handling wraps with hemp or linen blends. The hemp yarn in this wrap is naturally slubby. The wrap has mostly small nubs and slubs, and occasionally biger ones. Some of them will come off naturally during the use, other ones will stay.

This wrap has natural bamboo yarn in the weft, also called bamboo linen, which should not be confused with the bamboo viscose. This is a medium-weight wrap, suitable for all experience levels. The bamboo yarn in the wrap has a behavior similar to linen, including very occasional nubs and slubs, but needs a shorter breaking in period and gets much softer. The wrap has a luxurious shimmer under the sun, feels smooth in hand, but is grippy and stays in place once wrapped.

After a proper wash and a steam ironing the wrap becomes moldable, floppy and soft. It is gentle for your shoulders and cushy. The wrap is great to use for babies and toddlers. 

* The River Dee is a river in Aberdeenshire, Scotland.

* There are two ways of processing the bamboo plant to create yarn. The first is a mechanical process, creating what is informally called bamboo linen, and the second, more popular approach, is the chemical process used for producing rayon or viscose fabric. 

Mechanically produced bamboo - natural bamboo (bamboo linen)

Mechanically produced bamboo yarn requires no chemicals, pesticides or fungicides. Using a process similar to the one that produces linen from flax, bamboo fibers are raked and combed into long strands. The fibers are then drawn out and spun into a yarn that is silky and smooth to the touch. 

There is very little natural bamboo on the market and the yarn is hard to find, becuse the production process is more labor intensive and costly.

Chemically processed bamboo 

The method for producing bamboo viscose yarn requires a series of steps similar to those used for other rayon yarns. The process uses chemical solvents to dissolve the bamboo cellulose into a viscose solution. 

Hydrogen peroxide is added as a stabilizer and the solution is forced through spinnerets into a hardening bath which causes thin streams of viscose bamboo solution to harden into bamboo cellulose fiber threads. 

The hardening bath is usually a solution of water and methanol, ethanol or a similar alcohol. The regenerated bamboo fiber threads can then be spun into bamboo yarn for weaving into fabric.

This is a medium-weight wrap, suitable for all experience levels. The wrap is moderately soft right from the bag and needs a short breaking in period. It is very moldable but strong, is surprisingly cushy and will be very gentle for your shoulders. The wrap is suitable for all ages. The mulberry silk in the weft adds lush and shimmer to the material. The color takes a variety of shades depending on the light.

This is a medium-weight wrap. Suitable for all experience levels, except if you are the very first time wrapper. The wrap has a bit of cardboard feel from the bag, but after the first washing cylce it will become soft, moldable and easy to handle. Ironing on the low temperature will help to get rid of the light prickly feel. 

The wrap is suitable for newborns and toddlers. The baby camel yarn in combination with the Angel Wing pattern makes this wrap amazingly supportive, but gentle for your shoulders. 

The yarn comes from the warm undercoat from the two-humped Bactrian baby camel. This type of camel lives mainly in the inner Mongolia, Kazakhstan, and Afghanistan. They are tended by nomadic herders. In the winter the Bactrian camels grow a thick warm coat to protect themselves from the cold. In spring they naturally shed their soft under hair which is collected by the herders. 

The baby camel hair has a structire similar to cashmere. It makes a lightweight, super soft yarn with thermal regulation.
