Sample Sale Details

The available sample wraps will be sold by quick draw on Friday, May 13 at 10am EDT. While previous quick draws have only been open for 5 minutes, this one will remain open for 20 minutes to allow time for everyone to enter. More information about a quick draw can be found here.

If you are planning to enter the draw for one of the sample wraps, please carefully review the information listed below, particularly the condition of each wrap since they are all used babywearing items. Prices listed do not include the additional $12.50 for shipping, and sales tax if you live in Ohio. Shipping is only available to US addresses.

When you enter the draw, you will be able to list which wraps you are entering for. For example, my comment would be "Lisa Carter, size 6 Autumn Orchard, size 6 Evening Flame Silver" if I only wanted to be entered for those two wraps. If you would like to know how size selections are made, you can see a quick video here.

Size 6 Evening Flame (Silver) Tencel - $205

Evening Flame is the second release in our Signature line and is woven with Brassard cotton yarn in the flaming colors of an ocean sunset. Like all of our Signature wraps, it is woven on a vintage dobby loom and finished with unhemmed selvages and tapered tails. Wraps will be cut to allow for shrinkage plus a few extra inches to account for the thickness. 

This wrap is a one-of-a-kind, Tencel blend tester, that was woven by ABW to sample this fiber combination. While the 355gsm is quite high, you'll be surprised at how thinly it wraps though deceptively heavy in hand.

Condition: This wrap has been used extensively by almost a dozen testers, and has been carefully checked. There are no flaws or stains, and it has been washed and pressed in preparation for sale. However, it is a used babywearing item and will show signs of use. 

Width: 25.5 inches

Length: 187 inches

Fiber content: 50% cotton / 50% Tencel

Weave structure: point twill

Weight: 355 gsm

Long Size 6 Evening Flame (Pink) - $190

Evening Flame is the second release in our Signature line and is woven with Brassard cotton yarn in the flaming colors of an ocean sunset. Like all of our Signature wraps, it is woven on a vintage dobby loom and finished with unhemmed selvages and tapered tails. Wraps will be cut to allow for shrinkage plus a few extra inches to account for the thickness.

Condition: This wrap was used for the pink weft photo shoot, sent to two testers for one week each, and then taken to one local event as a sample wrap. There are no flaws or stains and it has been washed and pressed in preparation for sale. However, it is a used babywearing item and will show signs of use.

Weight: 300 gsm

Long Size 2 Autumn Orchard - $110

This first prototype in our Signature line was woven with 8/2 cotton yarn on a beautiful gradient warp in shades of blue, red and gold. The red weft combines with the warp colors to form a lovely purple/red/orange colorway. Like all wraps in this line, it is woven on a vintage dobby loom and finished with unhemmed selvages and tapered tails. This was our first sample, and there are only 4 of these wraps in existence. 

Please note! This run was woven at a much higher sett than any of our subsequent runs, and is a very thick, dense wrap. It also uses a cotton yarn that was in stock at the mill, and is not as soft as the Maurice Brassard yarn that we now use. The best way to describe this wrap is "not for the faint of heart!" However, it makes a fantastic beater wrap, is virtually indestructable, and is very supportive once you get used to the thickness. 

Condition: Aside from the normal weaver's knots, there is also one skipped thread that runs almost the width of the wrap (from rail to rail). This wrap has been used for several months, but there are no stains and it has been washed and pressed in preparation for sale. However, it is a used babywearing item and will show signs of use

Width: 28 inches
