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 Light Rainbow (yellow weft)


As soon as I read about the new standard line diamond weave girasols I wanted to try one.  I ordered Light Rainbow and received the yellow weft version. Less fruit loopy than the currently more common cream weft version.  The purple/blue/green end of the rainbow is usually my favorite but not with the yellow weft.  The diamond weave allows for the weft to play a greater role.  I prefer the wrapping qualities of the diamond weave in multilayer carries and Light Rainbow was no exception.  While more glidey than the twill weave Light Rainbow still has some grip and is more textured.

Weight/Area: 236 g/qm
