Uppymama June 2012 Rainbow

My Uppymama rainbow has a cream weft and is medium thickness.  After feeling and seeing my Uppymama in person, I am convinced the weaver is an artist and am honored to own one of her pieces.  Something of interest may be that Uppymamas have blunt ends and unhemmed rails.

Didymos Lisa

I have two Lisas from Didymos, a newer long wrap and the other an older blag tag shorty.  There is a significant difference in weight with the older being heavier.  The look the same except for the older being a bit faded.  Lisa's rainbow stripes are separated by a navy blue background.

Amazonas Lollipop

Lollipop is moldable, soft even new, wide and easy to wrap with.  Only slightly heavier than an Ellaroo this wrap is a great summer choice for someone with a toddler. The workmanship did leave a bit to be desired though. It came to me new with a broken thread and hem that was far from straight along the rails.

Girasol Light Rainbow (yellow weft)

As soon as I read about the new standard line diamond weave girasols I wanted to try one.  I ordered Light Rainbow and received the yellow weft version. Less fruit loopy than the currently more common cream weft version.  The purple/blue/green end of the rainbow is usually my favorite but not with the yellow weft.  The diamond weave allows for the weft to play a greater role.  I prefer the wrapping qualities of the diamond weave in multilayer carries and Light Rainbow was no exception.  While more glidey than the twill weave Light Rainbow still has some grip and is more textured.

Wrapsody Bali Breeze Hope

My first summer wrapping, one of my most used wraps was my bali breeze Orion.  But being a rainbow lover I longed for a gauze rainbow.  Luckily, my rainbow submission to Wrapsody's design competition won.  In the spring of 2011 Wrapsody released hope.  Many wrappers struggle with gauze but it can be done comfortably.  That summer I went on a 4 mile hike and took my very long Hope to use in multilayer carries with my mid-twenties toddler.  Washing with a small amount of ecover softener not only makes these wraps soft but also helps the glide by reducing the grip.  Softener is generally avoided with wraps but I make an exception for gauze.
