Purple wine and mint. This is a heavy weight wrap. It is slightly intimidating from the start but after a moderate breaking in period your effort will be paid off. You will have a very supportive, but gentle on your body wrap. Once broken in, the wrap is perfectly suitable for younger babies if you like a thicker wrap. Linen and mulberry silk fibers are blended and the wrap does not have any coarseness, which is typical for wraps with pure linen.

An eyecatcher! Soft, cushy neon-yellow cloud. The wrap is soft from the bag and will break in easily. It's great for all ages and experience levels.

* - a part of this batch has weaving flaws in the middle of the wrap across the length. The flaws have no influence on the safety of the wrap and are visible during inspection, and moderately to not visible when the wrap is in use.

To love, to life, to the endless return of luck, to the present, to the past, to the future above all, to our hopes and our illusions, to the health of the millions in love. To you.

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.

* 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.
