Poe Wovens Harlequin

This will likely go down as the shortest review with the worst photo, but so be it. This was not the wrap for me. I borrowed it for a short time from a friend, to help her break it in. Apparently it was quite the beast brand new. I think I was at least the 4th person to attempt the breaking in process and I barely made a dent. Harlequin is a medium thick wrap, with a fairly dense and coarse weave. There isn't much texture but it is definitely not smooth. It features a black and white pattern that reminds me of a kitchen floor, but also of the comic character it is named after. If you have noticed anything from the wraps I've enjoyed, you'll likely know that a high contrast and beastly, crunchy wrap is not my style.

This was a 3, but I found it wrapped very short. I found the wrap to be quite rough when worn, and it took me so much effort just to pick it up and wrap with it simply because I didn't like the feel or the design.
I did, however, figure out the exact person who would get the most use of this wrap. This wrapper would be experienced and have a large stash. She would like high contrast colours and interesting patterns, and would most likely have quite a few neutrals in her stash. She would be wrapping a larger baby, over 25lbs, and be well versed in many carries so she could make use of this wrap to its full potential.

I was more than happy to give it back to its owner, after making a few doughnuts with it to help soften it up.

Here's our one awful photo because we really barely used it enough to warrant any others.
