Windmills "Wildflower"
Windmills Wildflower features superwash, super-fine quality wool (one grade finer than Merino wool) blended with cotton for a premium quality made-in-the-USA woven wrap.
The iconic windmills design, created in-house by one of our artists expressly to maximize wrap qualities in a jacquard woven wrap, pops against the purple background. Wildflower is cozy enough for infants and strong enough for toddlers featuring that famous bounce and support of wool.
Every effort has been made to keep the cost of this woven down despite the quality of the yarn. Please understand that any discount codes cannot be applied to Windmills Wildflower, including babywearing educator or library discounts.
The fabric is lightly textured and may feature nubs and slubs. Despite our working to portray the color of the fabric true to life, the product may appear differently than it does on your screen and varies in its look in different light.
Wildflower can be machine washed (alone with a wool safe detergent such as Eucalan) and air dried or dried on no or low heat in a machine.
Woven Wraps
If you do not know where to start, please read this page and also see our infographic for determining your "base" size HERE.
Woven wraps are long parallelograms of fabric. The size indicates the length along one rail (a long edge) as follows (all plus or minus 0.1 meters):
Size 2 = 2.7 meters // Size 3 = 3.2 meters // Size 4 = 3.7 meters // Size 5 = 4.2 meters // Size 6 = 4.7 meters // Size 7 = 5.2 meters // Size 8 = 5.7 meters // Size 9 = 6.2 meters // Size 10 = 6.7 meters
Which size should you buy?
Many people with a baby can do a front wrap cross carry (see the FWCC tutorial here) in a size 6 woven wrap, which means that person's "base" size is a 6. Larger frames, those with larger ribcages or busts, or those with big toddlers might be base 7 or 8 or 9, and smaller frames might be base 5 or occasionally base 4. However, any person can use any size woven wrap.
With a woven wrap, you can wear your baby or toddler in a variety of ways: on your front, hip, and/or back (instruction manual provided) -- and no need to "size up" as baby grows if you have a Bijou! We are also proud that any person can wear any size woven wrap Bijou makes (3 through 9, generally). The size simply determines the carries done by that person with that wrap.
There are hundreds of ways to babywear with a woven. A short wrap is nice for on-the-go. Long wraps are great for reinforcing passes that add support. Medium wraps are versatile; some love them for nursing in a front wrap cross carry tied under bum (see the FWCC TUB How To).
Shrinkage:
During its first bath your wrap will shrink slightly, which is normal. We cut the fabric so that it will shrink to the size that you ordered (within tolerances).
ENJOY! See the included instructional booklet for carries specific to your purchase, find the same instructions at the how-to link above in the menu, or watch video tutorials HERE!
