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.

Lavender Silk Ellipsens


Didymos Lavender Silk Ellipsens combines lavendar silk with blue cotton.  This wraps glides very easily, has very little grip.  Some wrappers will find it slippery.  I find it thin but not diggy.

Didymos Lila Turkis Labrynths


Didymos Lila Turkis Labrynths has most of the wrapping qualities I love the most: great glide, soft, thin, shimmery.  The color combination is almost identical to girasol pacifico, a wrap list of mine.

Width:  64 cm
Thickness: 19 mils

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



Didymos Latimeria Fish


Despite being a thin wrap fan, I wanted to try Latimeria after hearing many rave reviews.  Latimeria was all it was said to be; thick, supportive, dense, smooth, good glide and fairly moldable for its thickness.  In the end, it was just too heavy for me in a long wrap so it moved on to a thick wrap loving mama.

Weight/Area: 309 g/qm (that is one heavy wrap!)
Width: 65 cm
Thickness:  25 mils

Didymos Petrol Fish


I found petrol fish early on in wrapping days.  Easy to wrap with smooth, moldable, soft with great glide.  Mine was a size 5 which is my least favorite and probably why I sold it for a steal.

Weight/Area:  214 g/qm
Width:  64 cm
Thickness:  22 mils

Diva Milano Reticella Turchese

A new brand peaked my interest last spring.  Soon after, Diva Milano Reticella Turchese was on the way.  Complete with many of the qualities I love, soft, medium thin, wide, smooth, moldable with great glide.   Though my back carries started nice and high, in long carries I found carries sagging slightly.  I loved the extra width in back carries but found the width to be more than I like in front carries.  My favorite of the Diva patterns but Reticella is too feminine for my tastes with a boy, so off it went in trade.
