Find your size

There are several different lengths of ring slings and woven wraps. The size that's best for you and your child depends on several factors. Within woven wraps, we talk about something called the "base size." Most people start with a wrap in their base size. Your base size is the length you need to comfortably tie a "Front Wrap Cross Carry" (FWCC).

Your base size depends on the size of clothing you wear on your upper body.

XS or smaller: Size 5

Size S-L: Size 6

XL-XXL: Size 7

3XL +: Size 8

It's important to have enough fabric to work with when wrapping so you can tie a secure double knot comfortably. The difference between sizes is only 50 cm, so if you have to choose between two sizes, I always recommend choosing the longer one.

You'll notice there are shorter wraps (sizes 1-4). These shorter wraps are used for alternative tying methods that use less fabric.

RING SLINGS

Ring slings are worn in only a few ways and don't vary in size as much as woven wraps do. People of most sizes can comfortably fit a standard length. Our long length ring slings might be the right choice for you if you wear XL+ size, want to use the sling for back carrying, intend to use it over thick clothing, or if you're tall and like long decorative tails on your sling.

Ring slings (short/long side, measured without rings):

Approximate length after washing:

RS: 180/200 cm

RS long: 210/230 cm

Kram slings: One size (190/220 cm)

ON MEASUREMENT of slings and coils

ABOUT MEASURING slings and wraps

Fabric is a living material that contracts with washing and stretches with use. Depending on how they're washed and used, they contract and stretch more or less. The stated lengths are approximate measurements after washing. Lengths are approximate and can vary by up to 10%.

Woven wraps and slings are correctly measured using the "soft tape in hand" method - often abbreviated as STIH. With this method, the wrap is measured in the hand with a soft measuring tape. If measured flat on a table, they might seem shorter than they actually are.

About me

Christine owner of Nordic Slings

My name is Christine, and I am the creator of Nordic Slings – a brand born from my love of babywearing and a deep fascination with the prehistoric and mythical world of the Nordic region. As a mother who has carried both of my children, I understand how important it is to feel connected with your child while also being free to be yourself. At Nordic Slings, I invite you into a world of beautiful materials, where each wrap and sling is designed to bring beauty, closeness, and freedom into your life.

Nature is life-giving, and it is in the space between the world of fantasy, history, and nature that I find my inspiration. I am deeply fascinated by natural fibers and their unique qualities. This is why I often choose to use wool, silk, and linen in my wraps. Each wrap and sling is a meeting between nature's finest materials and a love for the bond between parent and child.

I am proud to offer products that are carefully woven at a small GOTS-certified weaving mill in Austria, where ethical production is a top priority, and sewn with love here in Denmark. For me, it’s not about mass production but about creating something genuine and lasting, something that you and your child can enjoy for many years to come.

I look forward to being a part of your journey as a parent and am always ready to help if you have any questions or need guidance.

Warm regards,

Christine Marie Lundbye Clausen
