Hypothetically speaking ;)If I did buy another cotton Zolo...
Is the French Toile print much heavier than the natural cotton? I had (and returned) the plain natural. I woudl like to still be able to use a sling in this very humid Virginia weather. It probably won't cool down here till late October, nearly 2 months from now. Is the Toile, which I understand to be two layers thick, too hot and heavy for warm weather? Would I just be better off with the single layer natural fabric? Or does it not make that big of a difference?
When threading a ring sling (such as the Zolo) and you are gathering the sides in fan style (as you previously described, Stepahnie), am I only folding in one side till it meets up with the other side, so it is in a folded accordian style stack, and both rails are lined up on top of each other? Or do you fold in both sides at the same time, working them towards the center, till the two rails are side by side, like a set of shutters/cupboard doors? When you pull the tail through the rings should it look like that with the two rails meeting together in the center?
It looks cool like that on my reversible sling that I made, but is kind of hard to adjust! I wish there was a website that had step-by-step pictorial descriptions of how to thread a sling...hmmm, maybe someone could post some attachments that show how to do this?
And last but not least, am I crazy-obsessed-out-of-my-mind to be considering buying a cotton Zolo at full price? Is it really that worth it? I just can't seem to let it go! I have made three slings lately trying to satisfy myself, and all I can think about is how much nicer a Zolo would be!
