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.

Red Ivory Linen Indio


Red Ivory indio is a super thin linen blend indio.  So thin that I found it to be quite delicate.  Very soft when broken in; certainly with the tendency to dig if not wrapped carefully.

Weight/Area: 157 g/cm
Width:  67 cm
Thickness:  14.5 mils

Didymos Lila Royal V2


After owning and the selling the first version, I jumped at the chance to own the second.  Significantly thicker and less delicate the second version has more contrast between the purple and navy threads.

Weight/Area:  207 g/qm
Width:  65 cm
Thickness:  17 mils

Didymos Petrol Hemp Indio V1


Petrol Hemp Indio was released in 2012.  At first weaved on a small scale, Didymos responded to the pleas of mamas for a larger release of this wrap.  I have the first version with the whiter hemp threads.

Weight/Area: 218 g/qm
Width:  69 cm
Thickness:  20 mils
