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.

Lavender Silk Ellipsens


Didymos Lavender Silk Ellipsens combines lavendar silk with blue cotton.  This wraps glides very easily, has very little grip.  Some wrappers will find it slippery.  I find it thin but not diggy.

Lana Purple Milky Way


I remember reading that the purple version of this wrap was a factory error.  It is the perfect purple.  A dense wrap with blunt ends like other Lanas.  The pattern is printed rather than woven.

Width:  71 cm
Thickness:  21 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.

Width:  65 cm
Thickness:  17 mils

Girasol Pacifico, Vatanai Blueberry & Orkney

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.

Weight/Area:  257 g/qm
Width: 65 cm
Thickness:  24.5 mils

Didymos Latimeria Fish


Despite being a thin wrap fan, I wanted to try Latimeria after hearing many rave reviews.  Latimeria was all it was said to be; thick, supportive, dense, smooth, good glide and fairly moldable for its thickness.  In the end, it was just too heavy for me in a long wrap so it moved on to a thick wrap loving mama.

Weight/Area: 309 g/qm (that is one heavy wrap!)
Width: 65 cm
Thickness:  25 mils
