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 Diamond Weave Donau (Azul Pacifico)


Slingomama's popular exclusive Donau was re-woven in the diamond weave.  The brown, yellow and blue stripes are paired with azul pacifico weft in the above picture.  In this version weaving in the diamond weave it was also woven in two other wefts. Typical of other diamond weave giras, it is textured, flannely but still has good glide.

Ellevill Zara Blossom


My first Zara was a beastly Blueberry that took much work to soften and never was easy to wrap with.  Zara Blossom was easy to wrap with immediately.  Made with mercerized cotton in a new factory, Blossom is soft and moldable and is more glidey than grippy.  Unlike previous Ellevills, Blossom is also free of weaving flaws.

Weight/Area: 222
Width: 66
Thickness: 21

Girasol Tahoe


Woven Wrap's Exclusive Girasol Taho is a beatiful blend of three blues with a thinner green striped along one rail.  The turquoise weft contrasts beautifully with the navy, green and lighter blue stripes. Mine was woven early in 2012.  Typical of girasols, Tahoe's flannely texture provides grip but also inhibits glides when doing multilayer passes.  

Weight/Area:  225 g/qm
Width:  70 cm
