We will be doing a draw for the very limited number of pieces of our newest PASHMINA handwoven by our Nepali humanitarian weavers. Handspun cotton warp with rainbow chips. Handspun cotton and pashmina (the finest form of cashmere) weft. (77% cotton, 23% pashmina). All the yarn on our handwovens is handspun and hand-dyed, hand-painted, or hand-printed, in this case. Each rainbow chip was painted on the yarn individually by hand. There were several inspirations for Angel Cakes: one was rainbow chip cake, and another was this lovely mother angel painting. So, without further ado, we present to you Ethos Tamara "Angel Cakes." Each of our handwovens features a woman's name to designate the blend, and in honor of the woman who designed this wrap, our pashmina/cotton wraps will be "Tamara," after Tamara E. We will post the link for the draw later tonight. $135/meter.
Whether you call them wraps, slings, or carriers, this is babywearing with a cause. With each limited-edition release, we donate to a worthy charity.
We are a babywearing couple hoping to make a difference in the world with Ethos through charitable contributions and making babywearing a possibility for parents who haven't yet experienced it. Our first child was born in 2014, and babywearing has been a joy, a blessing, and a necessity! We were so excited when we opened the first samples of Dusky Argyle, and baby squealed with delight and dove for them. It's still his favorite wrap.
Dusky Argyle benefited the Carrying On Project. Manhattan Sundown and Manhattan Skyward benefited Siena House, a homeless shelter for pregnant women and their children in the Bronx.
Solace Vesper will benefit Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep, an organization providing photography services for families experiencing the loss of a child.
Our handwovens benefit our artisans' guild in Nepal, which has a charitable mission following the two major earthquakes that rocked the country in early 2015. They have built community toilets and sanitary facilities, community kitchens, temporary and permanent housing, schools, and delivered countless quantities of food and water to stricken areas.
We are located in Northern Utah, which allows us to enjoy hot summers, frigid winters, and brief but beautiful springs and autumns. We are involved in local babywearing groups in our immediate area and beyond.
