I don't think there are any bad wovens. The brand is mostly about pattern/colour and materials. Me personally I am a didymos lover (particularly as they come with a good warranty) but my first was a hybrid bali stretch. I think it is a great beginner wrap and despite the name is very much a woven, just very soft and quite affordable for a beginner too :goodvibes:

I have a Didymos waves for my hot climate and although I'm not a very experienced wrapper, I like it. I have had other wrappers comment on how 'cushy' it is. I LURVE the Kinomi Oscha especially, but I had a play with an Oscha for a few weeks and I didn't like it to wrap with (being a beginner at the time meant it wasn't very forgiving and apparently Didys are better for newbies?).

I loved my BBSlen when I was starting out (still love it now). It's wide, which makes it easier to get a good seat, and not too thick.

I bought it from Tinoki.

You can buy second hand wraps from the Facebook group, from the baby carriers downunder google group or from the Kanga Collective forum

I dunno about didy's being easier for newbies. I guess they are softer and needs less breaking in however I think anything with a tapered tail is best for a newbie

Sorry I haven't replied earlier!! Thank you for all your responses! I just bought an Oscha and I have my eye on a Didymous one.

Now to wash it and use it! Can't wait!
