Didymos Indio anthracite with 50% hemp

This very classy Indio anthracite with 50% hemp is a beauty. It has that slight hemp shimmer and it's perfect for summer: a size 6 weighs 756 grams. A summer wrap with the support of hemp, thank you Didy!

Didymos Indio gold-ruby with 50% linen

Another gold-ruby Indio? This one is different, because it's with 50% linen instead of 40%. Also, the linen is more ruby than the last one. Unfortunately, I don't have another 40% linen gold-ruby Indio around to compare.

The weight is 760 grams for a size 6.

This one is difficult to capture on photo!

Didymos Pesci Pazzi

A lot of confusion about this Didymos limited edition. Pesci Pazzi means crazy fish and the first swatch showed fish that swam to the left. Were these fish crazy because they swam the other way? The wrap appeared to be a beautiful fuchsia colour. But later it turned out there was nothing crazy about these fish, except maybe that they are another purple fish wrap. The exact same colour as Latimeria, Elburg and Malawi. So now we have four purple cotton fish wraps with the exact same purple thread and different weft colours (dark blue, white, green and fuchsia).















Didymos Ginkgo

This new Didymos limited edition is special: it was one of the entries for the design contest that Didymos organized a few months ago. The mama who made this design submitted a beautiful drawing. She was offered the chance to choose the colours, so she chose the perfect vibrant green! There are lovely pictures up on her blog.

Ginkgo arrived here today and I tried to take some pictures. I admit that I failed terribly. This wrap is so much prettier in real life; the pictures really don't do it justice.

I would say this is a rather thin wrap, perfect for spring and summer. It weighs 688 grams for a size 6.
