the pesci nebbia are some extraordinary fishies. the wrap was first presented on august, 7th on the german innatex fair near wiesbaden. so people were already waiting for the wrap as some vendors have given the information out.
pesci nebbia is the first wrap from didymos with plant-dyed linen. the yellow linen content is 40% and giving a nice contrast to the black cotton. the linen was dyed with a plant named reseda lutea, which can be commonly found in europe at warm and dry areas. if the wrap is washed with 40 or max. 50 degree celsius the color will stay the same and does not fade, so be careful and don’t wash your wrap with higher temperatures.
as plant dyeing is an extensive and expensive process the wrap is pricier than other linen wraps. it is mentioned that this is the first, but not the last plant-dyed wrap, so i’m looking forward to what didy is coming up with next.
note: the wrap is smelling really funny right out of the box, but the smell will fade after the first (or some ?) wash/es.
