Review of Eik the Acorn
by Philippa Valentin
(for Danish, scroll down)
"Wow. Just wow! Eik the Acorn is one of the most beautiful wraps I've ever seen. I love the colour combination and the pretty tussah nubs give a fantastic warm effect. That it's buttery soft from the first wash, and a marshmallow on the shoulders, even when you carry a 13kg bundle of energy, just makes you love it more.
It's so soft and easy to work with, and it still has an amazing grip, so even with a mega sloppy wrapjob, the wrap stays in place and doesn't budge a centimeter."

50% Speckled golden tussah silk
50% Midnight blue combed Egyptian cotton
Approx. gsm 270
Satin weave.
Eik The Acorn is a grippy, buttery soft luxury wrap very well suited for beginners.
This release is a re-weave of my first wrap in the Eik pattern from 2018. It was a favorite back then and I have had multiple requests over the years to re-weave it. However, it was never possible because the silk I used was out of stock. However, my mill and I recently managed to get our hands on a very last batch of this special italian silk. After this, Eik the Acorn cannot, and will not be released again. Enjoy
Differences from the 1st release: This release will feature my updated leather middle marker and, unlike the original, be available in size 8+.
