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.

Ellevill Zara Tri-Blue


My zara tri blue is machine woven and has unhemmed rails.  It is medium thin, with a bit of grip but also has glide.

Amazonas Lollipop


Lollipop is moldable, soft even new, wide and easy to wrap with.  Only slightly heavier than an Ellaroo this wrap is a great summer choice for someone with a toddler. The workmanship did leave a bit to be desired though. It came to me new with a broken thread and hem that was far from straight along the rails.

Weight/Area: 193 g/qm
Width:  71 cm
Thickness:  17 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.

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.

Weight/Area: 222
Width: 66
Thickness: 21

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.
