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, made of 100% Egyptian cotton. The wrap is suitable for the wrappers of all experience levels. The wrap is rather soft from the bag, but after a proper wash and breaking in period it will be a soft cushy wrap suitable for small babies, and supportive enough for bigger kids. It's a great all-around wrap, very suitable for the coming season of lots of outside activities and is easy to care for.

This is a heavy-weight wrap. It is not suitable for the newborns and I would recommend it for wrappers experienced in handling heavy-weight wraps. The wrap is not soft from the bag and requires an extensive breaking in period. It will take some effort; a washing machine and a steam iron will be your valuable helpers. But after that you will be rewarded with a strong, soft and super supportive working horse, which will make your child of any age and weight absolutely weightless.
