Oh, and just remembered something else - linen makes a beautiful ring sling - medium weight for a single layer and hanky weight for a double layer. Lovely and breathable for summer. Sakura Bloom make beautiful linen slings but they are really exxy.

Sarah, may I ask where you got your linen from. I'm on the hunt for some for a ring sling and have not been able to find good linen (that does not cost the earth) in Australia. I found good Irish linen on fabric dot com if anyone's looking, but shipping from the US is a bit of a pain.
