50% combed cotton, 50 % hemp, Alchemy weave
Copper Glasto Harvest has a gorgeously slubbly copper coloured hemp weft that we have used many times previously, it makes a lovely medium weight woven baby wrap, that is grippy on the hemp face and glidey on the cotton face, making it easy to get a solid wrap job.
Our combed cotton Glasto warp is a dark tealy green.
It is a medium weight wrap, weighing around 245 gsm, the weave structure that we use making it supportive for heavy toddlers yet gentle on the skin of a newborn.
Firespiral is the creation of Tamsin and Jen. We are passionate about woven wraps and had a shared dream to one day have our own designs woven. We live in an area with a wonderful weaving heritage and have been lucky enough to work with a very skillful weaving company capable of weaving something really special. Our designs are inspired by the universal patterns in nature that stray into both science and myth; the magical way in which we are connected to the world and its rhythms. We live at the edge of the west pennine moors, surrounded by stone circles, local legend and the wild beauty of the hillside, with the shadows of the cotton mills in the valley below. We feel a real sense of belonging to the ancient landscape and it is from this wonderful place that our inspiration takes shape. Some of our designs are an exploration of naturally occurring pattern, and some could be more accurately described as 'story cloths'. We both have creative backgrounds, Tamsin from an architectural viewpoint and bringing her experience of transforming wraps under the guise of violet chameleon, Jen as an artist and art psychotherapist. We want our woven wraps to be both artistically beautiful and take on deeper personal meanings for their wearers.
