The design is a gorgeous maxi rose pattern with a red warp and weft in varying colours, I tested the purple weft wrap, it was really vibrant and a great colour blend, I’m looking forward to seeing the other colour ways, cream weft sounds lovely, but I’ve always likes purple and red together.  Maxi-roses has been designed to be used straight from the box, it was a super soft wrap and as Joss proved came with added sleepydust with immediate effect, I’ve only ever used preloved wraps and this did feel ready to use.  The wrap I tested was 5m, with slightly tapered ends which I’ve not wrapped with before but I did find it easier to knot and I quite liked the finish it gave.

I’m not as confident at back carries as I was now Joss wants her arms out so tend to prefer a shortie, so excuse my slightly looser than I’d like ruck, it was sufficiently stretchy to wrap with but the dense 3d jacquard effect of the weave made it feel really well supported and grippy.

Fabric: The Maxi Roses is a lambswool/ cotton blend wrap. The fabric is fairly heavy and feels sturdy, even for a heavier baby. The fabric is warm because of the lambswool, I noticed a big difference in the warmth compared to my usual linen/ cotton blend. During the week I had the Maxi Roses, it was really warm outside and I felt it was a little cosy to wear outside- however, it was gorgeous to wear in the evening when the temperature outside dropped a little. The design is striking- the roses are beautiful and eye-catching. Although lovely and shimmery, the red/ brown colour is not my choice, so if I were to buy a Maxi Roses I would opt for the purple and red instead. The fabric did not crease easily. I did not wash the wrap when it was with me (washing lambswool scares me a little!) so I cannot comment on how well it washes. 

Wrapping: Throughout my "test week" with the Maxi Roses, I carried my daughter (7 months, 15lb-ish) in the FWCC (front wrap cross carry), basic ruck and double hammock back carries.
