The first wrap in our Geeky Chapter- Mendel's Double Helix. Double Helix, is based on the double helix or DNA model. The weave itself is new to Cari Slings- a satin weave, different from our twill weave in Tigress and Cardiidae. The satin weave is smoother, with less texture, and while it does not "puff" up as much as Tigress and Cardiidae do after the first wash, there still is an evident increase in volume.
"Mendel's Double Helix" is woven with a natural cotton warp and mercerized emerald green cotton weft. He breaks in immediately and after the first wash, is soft and cushy despite being on the slightly thinner side. He provides lovely drape and is very moldable. He may not be able to decipher your genotype, but he will surely provide impressive support when carrying your infant or toddler. He weighs 300g/m2 loom state.
He will be posted for sale on our website on Thursday, October 23rd between 1:00 and 1:15 pm EST/EDT.

We welcome you to Cari Slings.
We are a small family business located in North Carolina, creating and manufacturing high quality, boutique style machine woven wraps.
All our products are woven and finished in the US, and we strive to keep our products and labor as local to us as possible. We are working closely with two different mills to provide a variety of wrap designs and hopefully soon, fiber choices. One of mills local to us, keeping with our desire and commitment for growing and sustaining our local economy.
Our wraps are woven solely with natural fibers and we strive to work closely with our mills to create unique, quality textiles that can be handed down to your children's children.
The name Cari Slings is a tribute to my Caribbean heritage. I was born and raised on the island of Trinidad, an island known for its gorgeous landscapes, diversity, culture and food. It is our desire to fuse our Asian and West Indian cultures with American textiles and babywearing practices.
I am mother to three young children, and my husband and I have worn our children since birth almost 9 years ago. Our philosophy is that babywearing is so much more than simply wearing your child. It's a lifestyle, one of keeping our children and family close to our hearts, through our parenting and life choices.
I love and support handmade goods and work at home mothers, for I am one myself. For the past five years, I have been designing and creating handmade garments.
Cari Slings is a combination of my love for babywearing and textiles.
Thank you for joining me on this journey.
