Muka Pito Tie with Gemstone

Made from tumbled NZ Gemstones and Muka

These Muka Pito Ties make a great natural and eco friendly alternative to conventional cord clamps.  They are easy to use, and they are soft on babies skin and dont get tangled up in nappies and clothing.  Muka is also renowned for its antibacterial properties, and because of this the pito heals very fast. Our muka ties are made from 100% natural products, no plastic means they are kinder on the planet. The muka is gathered, prepared and woven in a traditional and sustainable manner by our expert weaver.

Comes blessed and packaged with stone information and instructions for use.

Colour variation in the Muka is due to different flax varieties used. The muka can vary from creamy white through to golden tan colours.

Bracelets, Anklets and Necklaces are available to thread your Gemstone charm onto once the Muka Pito Tie has fallen off baby.  Please see drop down menu for purchase options, and Photos in this listing for examples. Anklets/Bracelets/Necklace straps are all purchased seperately and come without a gemstone.

If you are purchasing a Bracelet/Anklet to go with your Pito Muka Tie, please measure either the wrist or ankle and note at checkout what size you would like. Taking into account comfort and how loose you would like to wear the item.  For example a wrist measuring 16cm suits a 17-17.5cm Bracelet. An ankle measuring 23cm suits a 25-25.5cm Anklet. If you are ordering a necklace, they will be bound at 60cm unless requested otherwise. 

It can also be useful to take into account the size and shape gemstone you want for an anklet/bracelet or necklace when choosing the stone for your muka pito tie.

Bracelets (Women’s size) - Small (17cm) Medium (18.5cm) Large (20cm)
