Calin Bleu, Cotton Gauze Wrap - Grey, Long (Size 7) (WW51) Check Availability

Overview

Woven wraps are amazingly versatile and beautiful pieces of fabric. There's practice required in learning how to tie them well, but the end result is, for many fans, one amazingly adaptable, plastic-free, reusable item that allow you to carry in a a million different ways, moulding perfectly for weight distribution and comfort.

This Calin Bleu wrap is super thin but really strong. It's made of a strong cotton gauze and for many wrappers is their go-to wrap for hot-weather wrapping. (I'd also recommend looking at the Wrapsody wraps too which are also good).

This is a 'Long' wrap - at 5.2 meters (or wrap size 7 to those in the know) the extra length makes it possible to do a basic Front Wrap Cross carry all the way up to dress size 18-20. If you're less than dress size 14, you might find you have long 'tails' after you tie your final knot. You could tuck them in, do a 'fancy finish', or choose one of our shorter Calin Bleu wraps instead.
