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.

Didymos Petrol Fish

Ellevill Zara Blossom
My first Zara was a beastly Blueberry that took much work to soften and never was easy to wrap with. Zara Blossom was easy to wrap with immediately. Made with mercerized cotton in a new factory, Blossom is soft and moldable and is more glidey than grippy. Unlike previous Ellevills, Blossom is also free of weaving flaws.

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.
