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 Elise


Didymos Elise is moldable, medium thin with great glide.   I love the rhombi but it seems I am in the minority.  Several rhombi colorways were removed from the standard line but Elise survived the cut.  You can even buy a matching hat directly from Didymos.

Width:  65 cm
Thickness:  21.5 mils
