Girasol woven wrap sizes

I found one that I like but it's 3.6m, is that big enough? From what I've read online most get 4.6m.  I'm 5'2" average build, maybe there shorter length is ok?

It depends on what carries you want to do with it. I think this is a good chart that will give you an idea of what size wrap to use for different carries. https://didymos.com/index.php?s=groesse

ETA: also I think a 3.6 is considered a size 4 by most wrap makers including Girasol and Didymos.

It depends  what you want it for. I am also 5'2" average build. I have a didy size 4 and use it for a hip carry I love, ruck tied in front, and another back carry I can't remember the name of. But I can't do a double hammock in it, so I have another wrap I use for that.

There is a better chart on the baby wearer but I don't have the link for it right now. It tells you what carries you can do with what size wrap and also gives links to video and picture tutorials. Anyone have that handy?

Ditto that it depends what carries you want to do with it. I have 4.2s and 4.6s, but I have borrowed shorter ones and fare fine, I just can't do the carries that require the longest length with them. As baby gets older, many people settle into loving the ruck back carry and for that one, shorter is nice.  I do it with my long wraps, but I have a lot of tail left.

That's a great size for a beginning wrapper.  Most beginning wrappers do mutli-layer carries like a front wrap cross carry--4.6 is a good length for that.  Also, a longer warp allows you to not wrap well, but still provide sufficient support.

 Once you're more experienced you'll probably go with a shorter length.

I was actually going to link to TBW one but I thought the other chart would be better for a quick guide since TBW one is so in depth. Also I think you might have to sign in for TBW one. But here it is: https://www.thebabywearer.com/index.php?page=WrapInstructionsChart
