PLEASE BE AWARE THAT THIS DESIGN FEATURES BLACK ON BLACK AT PARTS. THIS WILL MEAN AT THE TOP AND BOTTOM RAILS THE PATTERN WILL FADE SLIGHTLY INTO THE BACKGROUND FOR A MORE TONAL EFFECT. The Aliya bag and baby carrier mock up images are just a guide for pattern placement and the final product may be adjusted so more or less of the pattern is visible.

This beautiful hybrid weave fabric is woven with luxurious Bourette silk, organic cotton and Tencel yarns on a striking dark jewel grad, running from midnight blue through burgundy and dark green to black. Characteristic nubs and slubs speckle the Bourette silk yarn to give a lovely unique look to each piece of fabric.

Our special hybrid weave technique allows us to use multiple colours to highlight different areas of the pattern for a unique look. The finer yarns and denser weave structure create a very supportive fabric.

The lovely texture of this fabric will give it a good balance of grip and glide making it easy to tie. A little stretch and a touch of extra strength borrowed from silk, a beautifully soft, slubby yarn, will make this sling perfect for carrying children of all ages through to toddlerhood. It will need just a bit of wear to become buttery soft for small babies.

The Lonely Mountain, or Erebor, was the Dwarven kingdom which was home of the exiled members of King Durin’s folk, led by Thrór, until the attack and occupation by the dragon Smaug. This towering mountain is the quest’s end for Thorin Oakenshield and company, along with Bilbo Baggins, in their efforts to reclaim the kingdom for their people in The Hobbit™.

This fabric is also woven with BCI cotton. By using BCI cotton we ensure that our cotton meets the Better Cotton Initiative’s high standards of environmental, economic and social responsibility. Our BCI cotton is also organic, meaning it is grown with care and without chemicals keeping the land, and farmers, healthy.
