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 Aqua/Green Old Standard


Didymos released a series of old standards in 2012.  Aqua/green the only 100% as of the writing, is very thin, moldable and soft.  Also a popular color combination for Didymos this year as pfau and fish were both released in these colors.  Visually this is my favorite of the old standards.

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.

Girasol Fresh Grapes


The Blueberry Tree's exclusive, Fresh Grapes, is my boomerang wrap.  I have bought and sold it 3 times. It was the first Girasol colorway I lusted after.  Looking at it now, I almost want to try and find another one . . . almost.  Like other twill weaves it is grippy and can be saggy if the carry is not tight.  The first one I owned (from spring 2010) was softer and less supportive than the later two weavings.

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.
