Firespiral Murmuration Halcyon Chryso - Woven wrap size 7

Murmuration Halcyon Chryso is a beautifully elegant wrap from Firespiral, featuring a teal organic cotton warp and a golden Italian linen weft that gleams with a natural shimmer. The design captures a sky filled with swooping starlings, layered over fields and trees in Firespiral’s revised Murmuration pattern. The result is a visually striking piece that feels soft in hand and regal in tone — ideal for weddings, ceremonies, and those moments when you want your carrier to be as beautiful as your outfit.

This is a mid-weight wrap that works across the seasons. The high-quality Italian linen makes it breathable, durable, and far less prone to creasing than most linen blends, while the Alchemy weave adds a gentle glide and easy tightening. Whether you're carrying a newborn or a toddler, this wrap offers comfort, structure, and quiet luxury in every pass.

GSM (Grams per Square Meter) - how thick the wrap is

GSM measures how much fabric weighs per square meter—essentially its thickness and density. In woven wraps, it's a key indicator of support, warmth, and feel.

GSM Ranges & What They Mean:

• <180 g/m² – Very thin: 
• 180–220 g/m² – Thin:
  
• 220–260 g/m² – Medium:
  
• 260–300 g/m² – Thick:
  
• >300 g/m² – Very thick: 

GSM Matters—but Isn't Everything:

• Weave structure influences feel: a light-wrap weave at 260 g/m² can feel thinner than a tightly woven 230 g/m² wrap
  
• Fiber content (like cotton, linen, silk) also affects drape and texture
  
• Personal preference plays a big part: some users love the feel of thick, cushy wraps; others prefer slim, cool wraps—even for toddlers
  

Tips for Choosing a GSM:

• Beginners often find thin–medium wraps (200–260 g/m²) easiest for learning while still offering good support
  
• Over 300 g/m² may be supportive but can be hard to wrap snugly—better suited for experienced users .
  
• Lightweight wraps excel in summer, though a loosely woven thick wrap can also remain breathable
  

GSM is a great starting point to gauge wrap thickness, but always consider weave, fiber, and how you feel carrying your baby. A mid-weight wrap tends to offer the best all-round performance—but ultimately, comfort and confidence matter most.
