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 item that offers an array of moulded supportive creative carrying.
This Firespiral wrap is a super-cushy blend with merino - it's lovely for a snuggly feeling with a smaller baby (do a Lexi twist to take the thicker fabric away from tiny knees on a Front Wrap Cross Carry) or for extra comfort for you and your passenger if wrapping heavier babies and toddlers!
