Review - Pollora Jolly van Orange

Review Pollora Jolly van Orange size 4.

72% linen, 28% Cotton

Gsm: 220

I have a secret fascination for linen and therefore I want to try linen blends, when it comes to babywearing. I won a giveaway at Pollora and the choice was easy: linen it is! And although I'm not a skull and skeleton fan, this pirate wrap makes me happy with its Halloween-like colors and the shimmering in both the Brown and the orange. The high percentage of linen makes the gsm quite low, and therefore the wrapping qualities surprised me!

Here are my comments - uncensored:

I find it easy to get a tight wrap, thin yet with surprisingly good grip. Carries 11kgs as weightless. A bit tricky to tighten the carry if there are slacks, but I find the wrap almost rock solid when tying the knot. Feels a lot easier than my all-Cotton wraps both when it comes to wrapping and weightwise. The only problem I had was how to wash it properly, but I think I succeeded with a delicate low-temp wash.

All in all, Jolly van Orange has proven itself a very nice linen wrap and I am even more convinced that linen is the thing for me. The pricing of Jolly van Orange also makes it a very valuable wrap, and I think it is rather luxurious for its cost.
