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.

Uppymama June 2012 Rainbow


My Uppymama rainbow has a cream weft and is medium thickness.  After feeling and seeing my Uppymama in person, I am convinced the weaver is an artist and am honored to own one of her pieces.  Something of interest may be that Uppymamas have blunt ends and unhemmed rails.
