Didymos Waves Allegro with wool
Ah, this is an oldie! But I didn't like the swatch picture (the wrap is much nicer looking in real life, IMO) so I decided to take new pictures. Didymos Allegro Waves has 40% wool and size 6 weighs 756 grams. It's on the thicker side, but not overly thick. Just nice and supportive. And the colours are really nice and bright! I hope these pics show that.

Didymos Audrey with wool
One of the things I especially love about woolly wraps (apart from the just right amount of bounce), is the amazing sheen. Now I now that shimmer isn't something you'd expect from wool, but rather from silk or even linen. But this lovely Didymos Audrey with 50% wool is another example of just this lovely sheen. Just lovely in purple cotton and olive wool!
This is a somewhat thicker wrap, size 6 weighs 771 grams. The houndstooth pattern is a little smaller than Houndstooth anthracite. It's just the perfect size: not too much in your face, and not too small to make you dizzy just by looking at it.

Natibaby Pancy beige with wool
It's only just slightly frustrating how limited Natibaby limited editions are, but I miraculously managed to get hold of a Pancy beige with wool. It was sold in the blink of an eye. I quickly took some pictures before sending it to its new owner, but i forgot to weigh it. I think it was medium thick, definitely not thin. The shimmer is just a-ma-zing!

Didymos Pink Dots with wool!
More pink! And this time with wool! Didymos Pink Dots with wool is made of pink cotton (yes, the same as Tramonto Waves) and natural wool. I suspect this is the same wool that's used in last year's natural wool indio and the more recent cinnamon wool indio.
This is a somewhat thicker wrap: size 6 weighs 802 grams.

Didymos Indio Cinnamon with wool
The very first woolly Didy of this autumn! A great way to start the International Babywearing Week 2011. There have been lots of releases with the exact same shade of brown lately:
* Tina cinnamon-turquoise
* Dragon Antara
* Indio Monti
* Nino Heaven & Earth
* Ellipsen Nougat silk
* Indio cinnamon w/wool
* Labyrinth cinnamon/lavender
I expected this wrap to be very thin, but I think it's very fluffy or something, because size 7 makes the lid of the box go up. The box won't close fully. The weight of a size 6 is 689 grams, so that's not extremely thin. I think the wool must give this wrap its fluffiness. This wrap supposedly is only 5 grams per square meter heavier than Natural Wool Indio, but from what I recall, NWI was way thinner.
And now: pics!
