Mystery wrap scraps II

So I couldn't resist ordering some more wrap scraps from Didymos in the hopes of finding something extraordinarily special. I wasn't disappointed, see for yourself!


Extremely soft all-cotton Ninos:






Agate Cherryblossoms with linen:






Black & White Butterflies (all-cotton):








And also multi-colored Black Butterflies (all-cotton):








Not sure about this one. Karibik or something new? Definitely all-cotton.




And finally Antigua Rhombus:







None of these scraps were hemmed, so probably none of these will be released. They appear to be just tests.

Didymos Azure

No, the Azures I ordered for Slings & Things haven't arrived yet. But I received a very special delivery today: a Didymos Azure (Azur) size 7 to wear our beloved 2,5 year-old daughter.

Some people wondered if a size 7 would fit into the box?

It does.



























Not washed yet, but already wonderful for a 2,5 year-old:





Also works nicely for a 5,5 year-old :)



Weight comparison:

Sunset 6: 1040 grams
Azure 6: 1015 grams (Azur 7: 1123 grams!)
Moss 6: 998 grams

Didymos Moss

So we had Sunset aka "The Beast" and now there is Moss (Moos) with 50% linen! "Didy Moss" (sorry, it's too funny). The swatch picture showed a slightly different weave than Sunset, with extra lines. But the weave is exactly the same. Moss is slightly thinner than Sunset, but not much. Sunset size 6 weighs 1040 grams and Moss size 6 weighs 998 grams.

















Didymos Ellipses Plum

So, another Ellipses Aida, you ask? But no! Ellipses Aida is purple with dark red, with the purple side as the right side. But this Didymos Ellipses Plum (Ellipsen Pflaume) is red with dark blue, the red side is the right side. I'm pretty sure the colors are the same colors as the Trageschule Dresden Sommer Didymos wrap.
