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.

Didymos Tramonto Waves


Tramonto Waves, like other all cotton waves, is a tri-weave.  It's thread colors are fuschia, black and gray.  At times the some of the "waves" give the appearance of lavender.  Very similar to aqua waves, it is airy, moldable, textured and feels light.  One my screen, the color is more accurate in the picture below.

Didymos Lisca Verde


Chatter about the unique qualities of the lisca weave led me to try this beauty.  So soft even before wash, stretchy, moldable and airy.  I would love to see Didymos release a more blue colorway in this weave as lisca verde is more verde.  The green is dominate on both sides which look identical excluding the area near the rails.  The weave is very loose and will be prone to pulls.  Mine already has atleast one.
