Soul Slings Backwaters linen woven wrap. The divines of the Indian backwaters brought to life. Soul linen wraps are cool and soothing to the touch. With time and use they become buttery soft, with an almost silken smoothness that makes them the perfect choice for little babies. Despite their gentle good looks, they are also surprisingly strong and supportive. With good grip, minimal stretch and a slight bounce, these wraps will comfortably hold a bouncing toddler in a multi-layer carry too. Thin in hand, these are encouraging wraps for beginner wrappers. Experienced wrappers looking for a challenge will find that the differently coloured sides ensure very pretty finishes, with very small, discreet knots.

Soul woven wraps are long, rectangular lengths of fabric that are wrapped around a baby and its caregiver. They promote skin-to-skin contact, help parents (and other close family members) bond with the baby and are perfect from birth to the toddler years. They provide you infinite carry possibilities and offer perfect support for your child as well as you. A gently loved wrap will last you more than one child.
* Your Soul linen wrap comes pre-washed; however we recommend you wash and ideally steam iron it once before use, to make it softer and help it grip better. Wash it separately for the first few washes as the colour might bleed a little.
* Sizes are approximations and may vary very slightly from measurements given.
* Soul fabrics may show colour variations, loose threads, tiny slubs, snags or unevenness that are characteristic of natural fibre textiles. These variations should in no way be considered flaws or defects as they do not affect the functionality of the carrier. It is the nature of the fabric and these imperfections highlight its natural beauty and uniqueness.

Size Guide
Welcome to Little Zen One Baby Carriers and Babywearing Accessories.
When choosing the size for a woven wrap there are a few things to consider:
The size of whomever is using the wrap.
The carries you would like to do.
The size of your child(ren) being wrapped.
Typically, the first wrap people get is their base. The base size is the size you can do the most carries with!
First wrap? Get your Base Size! A "base size" can be determined by the shortest length of wrap you need to do a Front Wrap Cross Carry (FWCC). This size will allow you to do many full length carries. Every body is different, but most will find their base in the 5 - 7 range. Your child’s size won’t make a noticeable difference in your base size.
Women's Base Size:
US shirt size 4 - 8 -> Size 5 wrap
US shirt size 8 -12 -> Size 6 wrap
US shirt size 14 - 20 -> Size 7 wrap
US shirt size 22 - 26 -> Size 8 wrap

Once you’ve determined your base size, you can find your “shorty” size wrap by subtracting 2 sizes. If your base size is a 6, you will usually find a size 4 will work well for a Ruck carry tied in front.
Sizes are based on Didymos measurements, but they can vary due to the unique nature of woven material.
The width of Didymos wovens will range between wraps. While most widths will work for everyone, wide wraps would be better for toddlers, and a more narrow wrap would be better for infants. However, I use narrow wraps with my toddler. Again, this comes down to preference.
If you have a wrap you’d like to measure, use a soft tape and measure along one rail. Follow this video for detailed instructions.
Woven wraps are measured along one rail. A rail refers to the long edge of the wrap (like train tracks).
The majority of machine wovens, like Didymos, are finished with tapered ends allowing for a trimmer knot and easier tie-off. You will discover your preferences with practice. You may find long tails get in your way. Alternatively, you may find you love the look of long tails, or want to explore different “finishes” those long tails can be used for.
