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.

Woven with a double linen thread!

Didymos Indio OSL

This has to be the Indio with the strangest name. On the website it said Indio OSLinen. So maybe it's Orange Schwarz Leinen (Orange Black Linen) but the description said the colours are orange and anthracite. And orange it is! This is a medium weight wrap, size 6 weighs 727 grams.

Didymos Indio Ranunculus

Another shimmery Indio! This 100% cotton Didymos Indio Ranunculus (Ranunkel) is made of orange and blue thread and depending on the light, it shimmers in either colour. The pictures really don't do it justice. This is on the thin side, size 6 weighs 615 grams.

Didymos Lisca Arancia

Somewhere I read a remark of this design being a remake of an earlier Didymos design. Well, I don't claim to be an expert in any way, but I thought I had seen every design Didy has released over the years and I've never seen anything like this before. But maybe I am wrong. If anyone has a link to a swatch of the same 'old' wrap, please keep me in mind.

Anyway. This 100% organic cotton Didymos Lisca Arancia is unbelievably soft and fluffy. The weaving method makes it appear thick, while a size 6 only weighs 678 grams. So it's not heavy, it's just fluffy. I love it!
