A Note About the Measurements

Wraps are inherently difficult to measure. Length is measured with a soft tape in hand. The tape measure I use is 100 ft, so it is done continuously. I square the wrap when measuring width (so as not to measure diagonally) and flatten the wrap without stretching to get the width. Thickness is measured with a micrometer. This is highly dependent on user. Thicknesses should be used in comparison rather than as absolutes.

Girasol Fresh Grapes


The Blueberry Tree's exclusive, Fresh Grapes, is my boomerang wrap.  I have bought and sold it 3 times. It was the first Girasol colorway I lusted after.  Looking at it now, I almost want to try and find another one . . . almost.  Like other twill weaves it is grippy and can be saggy if the carry is not tight.  The first one I owned (from spring 2010) was softer and less supportive than the later two weavings.

Weight/Area:  257 g/qm
Width: 65 cm
Thickness:  24.5 mils
