This is a first

In the years that I’ve been weaving custom baby wraps, I’ve woven & sent off 83. Until now I had 1 returned…an early one that had a design flaw that I subsequently fixed. Now, I suddenly have 2 back. One mom, a sister wrap, didn’t like the warp colors in person, which she didn’t get to choose anyway. The other mom had ordered a 4.6M wrap and somehow it ended up being 5.1M – a full 19″ longer than desired. Since there is a change in the tails, simply cutting off the extra length and re-hemming wasn’t a good plan.

So now I have these 2 completed wraps available for sale, first come, first served.

The first wrap has 6 colors in the warp: mauve, vert emeraude, jaune fonce, orange fonce, rose fonce, and mauve. These are Maurice Brassard cotton colors, seen here. The weft is 100% silk in lavender, seen here. The wrap is 4.6M long. In addition to the photo above, you can see more pictures in 4 blog posts: one, two, three, and four.

The second wrap has 5 colors in the warp : magenta, fuschia, turquoise, vert pale, and lilas.  These are all Maurice Brassard cotton colors, seen here. The weft is a blend of 60% organic cotton and 40% hemp.  It was hand painted.  There is a change in the tails of a cream cotton.  This wrap is a full 5.1M long.   In addition to the photo above, you can see more pictures on my blog here (the yarn in the boxes, not the completed wrap), the hand painted yarn here, and two more posts: one, two.

If you want one of these sweet wraps just in time for the holidays, leave a comment on this post, or email me directly at peg(at)handwovenscarves(dot)com.  They won’t last long!
