Rubix Slate is the smaller brother to Rubix Ink. Slate is a thin to medium, mouldable and demure monochrome piece. Rubix Slate, like Ink; starts as an ecru cotton warp and is woven with a black cotton weft. Less dense in its weave structure Slate plays with slates, grays and whites. It maintains the stylish, classy and striking appearance while the softer tones dance through the geometric design.
Buttery soft in its loom state, he will break in quickly and with minimal effort. Weighing in at 255gsm a wash takes it up to 285gsm. The smooth weave on Slate makes it the perfect squish wrap to add to your stash, whilst also being a fantastic addition to your toddler stash. Thin to medium in weight, smooth and smooshy, Rubix Slate will hug you in all the right places and support you through all your favourite carries.
A fantastic all rounder and would be a welcome addition to any wrap stash. He does well in both single layer and multi layer carries. His knot will be of a medium size and is best tied with a double knot.

An Ankalia wrap or ring sling is designed to be an effective parenting tool in your day to day life. Our carriers will allow you to get the basic tasks done while keeping your baby or toddler close. Our carriers will help you with anything from the vacuuming to shopping on a holiday at the beach, with your child right by your side.
Making sure that Ankalia is made within Australia is important to us. Many manufacturers are obsessed with producing their products as cheaply as possible, which generally means sending their wares offshore to be produced. We wanted Ankalia to be Australian designed, woven, and hand finished, as the babywearing world was calling for a premier Australian product - and we need to be satisfied that our fabrics are made in an ethical manner. Our designs are hand sketched by local artisans, and their trade and skill is transformed into fabrics literally designed to embrace your babies.
