Tragetuch Didymos Sans Frontières EBW 2017

This cloth is a the result of a genuinely collaborative effort across all European national borders, showing the phrase "I carry you always" in over 30 European languages.

The idea of an European Babywearing Week first developed in November 2016, and Rosie Knowles began the process of bringing this week into reality. A Facebook group, involving people from at least 14 nations, was used to co-ordinate efforts to create, translate and design the EBW17 image and bring the week into life. Many, many people have been involved in this project right from the start.

Daily, people in need arrive in Europe, and the European Babywearing Week seeks to alleviate some of their needs. Therefore the proceeds of each sale of this cloth go directly to the charity Medecins Sans Frontieres.

European Babywearing Week runs from May 8th-14th 2017, and there are many events happening in countries around Europe; maybe there is one close to you! This new group European Babywearing https://www.facebook.com/groups/1255428567904058/ has many countries represented in it.

This cloth is woven with a colour gradient and fine writing. Front and back appear quite different. On the natural-white side the writing appears in fine colour, on the back, the colour is vibrant and the writing is mirror-reflected in natural white. The motif is woven in elaborate jacquard technique, it is not printed. Jacquard weaves, despite their high strength, are characterised by particular elasticity.
