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 Rosalinde


Rosalinde (Rosa) was one of the double face linen blends released in spring of 2010.  One side is a delicate pink and the other a light grey.  Rosa is time consuming to break in but once done an ease to wrap with.

Weight/Area: 250 g/qm
Width: 65 mils
Thickness: 22.5 mil  

Didymos Agave


Didymos released a series of double face linen blends in the spring of 2010.  The thinnest of the set, Agave's linen gold shimmers with the petrol cotton.  Thin, moldable, great glide with the support of linen.  Agave did have a tendency to dig with a sloppy wrapping job and heavy baby.

Weight/Area: 187 g/qm
Width:  66 cm
Thickness: 18.5 mils
