Néobulle Feng Shui Attitude collection
Four new Néobulle colourways! Feng Shui means 'wind and water' in Chinese. The Néobulle Feng Shui collection creates a harmony of the five elements Fire, Earth, Metal, Water, Wood by the fabric, the designs and the colours.
The structure of the pattern is vertical, symbolizing the heaven and earth axis associated with baby's spine that needs to be supported. This acts to bring the energy of balance and harmony in babywearing.
There are four designs:
Astrée (water and metal):

Gaïa (earth and fire):

Séquoia (wood):

Kallisté (fire):

All designs are available as a wrap and as a ring sling. Prices:

Vatanai Ravenna
Another stunning labyrinth from Vatanai: Ravenna. The colours are gorgeous: pink and grey. Like all Vatanai wraps, it's soft right out of the box. I know from experience that after the first wash, these wraps get unbelievably soft and cuddly. No need to break it in. They are on the thin side, so perfect for anyone who needs a cooler wrap. Not only perfect during summer, but also under a babywearing coat or cover in colder times.
Ravenna size 4.5 weighs 638 grams. If you'd like to know how it compares to other Vatanai wraps in thickness, please take a look at this overview.

Vatanai Ningaloo and Igloolik
Finally, my Vatanai order arrived. Some very fun wraps were in the shipment, like Ningaloo (Orkney whales) and Igloolik (light blue whales). Unfortunately, I don't have a Naglikti around to compare, but I think these comparison pics are nice nonetheless.
Ningaloo is thicker than Igloolik: Ningaloo size 4.5 weighs 673 grams and Igloolik size 4.5 weighs 587 grams.

Didymos Nino Heaven and Earth
Yay, a new Nino! 100% cotton Didymos Nino Heaven and Earth (Himmel und Erde) is extra special to us, because my son's name is Nino. He's 8 years old now and he likes this Nino. So that's settled.
This is a somewhat thicker Nino: size 6 weighs 831 grams.








With Indio sky blue:

So I was under the impression that the yarn was the same as Tina cinnamon-turquoise. But I was wrong. The brown is the same alright, but the blue is nowhere near. I stand corrected.
