Tangled Weaves - handwoven and gorgeous

Aussie weavers are awesome.

Well, this one is. Tanya of Tangled Weaves was introduced to me by another babywearing mama. She has a sparkly, irrepressible personality, tells it like it is and doesn't beat around the bush. Somehow all these qualities are imparted to her wraps. 

She's also a meticulous weaver with incredible selvedges and an eye for detail. Start stalking now.

We hosted a gorgeous tester twill - purple zigzag, in bubblegum tones and with contrasting teal tails.

 Out of the package I was impressed. Amazing tension, a lovely crumple in the hand, promises of cush and bounce whispered seductively... Guess what our favorite wrap became. 

Yeah. 

I could rave about the loveliness of a wrap that lets you ruck a 14kg two-year-old effortlessly, the weave that locks into place and holds a half-knot under bum without skipping a centimeter, or the fabulous, endless cush and textile intricacy of a high-contrast twill.

I'm just going to tell you I've experienced the comfort of this wrap myself... And to stalk Tangled Weaves ;)

Bloomylooms woven wrap review

Hungarian company  Bloomylooms certainly have their graphics under control and on trend! 

This cute all-cotton owl wrap came to me in a size 4 that's perfect for FWCC tied in front, half FWCC, a quick ruck or a tight DH. 

Owls is quite light in hand, around 230gsm, and will be a nice summery wrap as the weather warms. Washing lifted the pattern and gave the weave a little more texture, but I found it to glide and knot quite easily. You can see how mouldable this was and and how nicely it pleats in a pass! 

While this felt quite comfortable in a multi-pass carry with Audrey (2yo, 12kgs), I would call it more of a baby wrap than a toddler wrap. In a ruck this needed some careful tightening to remain  evenly spread and doesn't have a lot of cush to mask a sloppy wrap job. Of course, this means you can coax it into wrapping like a second skin, so this is very much about your personal preferences as a wrapper."

I do love the cool color palette and retro styling of the pattern- the owls are top-and-tailed, so there's no such thing as upside-down, and wrong side out looks just as lovely as right.
