Details and special features of the HOPPEDIZ Baby Sling:
Weave
- The cross twill weave used gives the HOPPEDIZ Baby Sling excellent
and single-coloured stretchability in both diagonal directions. This
allows the sling to adjust
itself
optimally to both the baby's and the carrier's body, and to support the
baby's back. In doing so, the sling does not stretch out, and it does
not lose its shape even if heavier babies are carried for longer
periods.
Yarn - The yarn which is used to
weave the HOPPEDIZ Baby Sling is made out of 100% long-piled cotton.
Hoppediz uses high-quality threaded yarn in both warp and weft. This
supports the diagonal stretchability and the holding power of the weave,
and guarantees exceptional durability. The yarns used are neither
pre-bleached nor chemically finished, and are also completely free of
post-treatment.
Colours - Thanks to the
high-quality, non-toxic and heavy metal-free dyes used, the HOPPEDIZ
Baby Slings are extremely kind to the skin.
The natural yarns are dyed before weaving (this process is known as yarn
dyeing). This means that the yarns are exceptionally colour-fast.
Thanks to this the HOPPEDIZ Baby Slings still look like new even after
many washes (using laundry detergent without fluorescent whitening
agents).
Length - The HOPPEDIZ Baby Slings are
not pre-shrunk after weaving. This production method is unnecessary and
expensive, and results in unnecessary environmental pollution due to
the resulting soap suds. For this reason, HOPPEDIZ Baby Slings are
slightly longer than stated before the first wash, and only have the
stated length after this.
Washing - The
HOPPEDIZ Baby Sling can be washed at up to 60C (30C or 40C is, however,
normally sufficient) and can be dried in a tumble drier. This means that
it becomes pleasantly soft even without fabric softeners.
Strength - The HOPPEDIZ Baby Sling can also be used as an obstetric aid in the
delivery
room.
Here it can be loaded with a tensile force of up to around 700 kg. This
result was determined by the Technical University of Dresden (Institute
for Textile and Process Engineering) to DIN EN ISO 139434-1.
Rails
- Stable positioning of the HOPPEDIZ Baby Sling is guaranteed by the
double-hemmed edges, even under longer and heavier loading.
The edges are woven in contrasting colours so that they are easier to
find when pulling tight.
A marker in contrasting colours indicates the centre of the cloth, which
makes finding the centre during tying considerably easier.
Tails - The HOPPEDIZ Baby Sling is cut obliquely and parallel at the ends so that the cloth ends are easier to tie.
Instructions
- All HOPPEDIZ Baby Slings are supplied with extensive,
well-illustrated and easy to understand tying instructions (60 pages,
colour, DIN A4). This enables parents who do not have the opportunity to
attend a carrying course to get to know the tying methods and the
advantages of carrying in a sling.
