Didymos Pamir?

Every time I notice Didymos listing wrap scraps, I hurry and order some. Too bad the number of wrap scrap packages is now limited to only three. Three! That's like 15 scraps at the most. But let's not dwell on that, because one of my packages contained a very interesting wrap scrap. It's like some kind of Chiara variation, with woven-in stripes. The resemblance to Pamir is striking! But this one is cross twill weave (I think), whereas Pamir is twill weave. It's definitely 100% cotton. The wrap scrap isn't hemmed and it's a straight piece, so I don't think we'll see this wrap for sale any time soon. Too bad, because I like it! The colour is creamy white and it feels not too thick and very soft!

Regarding the weave: I have a close-up pic, so if anyone would like to share their thoughts, please do!

Wait with me... it's here!

Yes, my Pamir has arrived! Actually, it arrived a couple of weeks ago. But my very picky three-year-old refused to have her picture taken while being worn in Pamir. Maybe I asked too eagerly, who knows :)

Anyway: tonight my daughter was in a good mood and agreed to having some fun with Pamir Fresia, as it's been appropriately named by the lovely and talented mama who created this wrap for us.

Some initial thoughts on my first Pamir: I love it, but I'm not overwhelmed. Maybe because my expectations were too high. Maybe because it's dense but not thick. I like thick. Maybe because it needs to be broken in more, it's rather stiff right now. And it's a tad long for me, I bought a 5.5 m. because I knew Vatanai usually runs short and the dye bath would make it shrink even more. It measures approx. 5.25 m. now, but because it's not very thick, it has very long tails for me. (For instance: hemp indio is only 10 cm shorter than Pamir but the tails are way shorter after tying).

But the prettiness of Fresia makes that we reach for it often, so I think with time, it will soften up nicely. I like that the twill weave is much more sturdy than I expected it to be. I have been indoctrinated that cross twill weave is good and all else is evil, or in any case: less. But I think twill weave is also not bad, at least it makes for a very nice and tight carry with my 29 lbs three-year-old.

Wait with me... (2)

Remember how natural my Pamir was? Not anymore!



One colour down, two to go!

Wait with me...

This is gonna be fun. Please wait with me while my crispy new Pamir is in the hands of the talented Alex of Turquoise Fields!

Here is Mr P. (a very rare size 5.5 m.!) still in his lovely naked state:











I hope to have the Mr back in a week or 2, maybe 3. Patience, I need patience!
