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 Carmin Fish

Didymos Kobalt Rouge


Didymos Kobalt Rouge is a super thin linen blend indio with amazing shimmer.  Very light weight to the point where it is delicate and has a tendency to be diggy.  I have owned two from the same weaving the measurements are nearly identical.

Width:  66 cm
Thickness:  17 mils

Ellevill Jade Candy


My Jade Candy was machine woven with several weaving flaws throughout the wrap.  Like other jades very grippy and textured.

Weight/Area:  261 g/qm
Width:  61 cm
Thickness:  24  mils

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

Hoppediz Lille


I love the combination of pink and red and Lille places this combination on a cream background.  Like other Hoppedizs. Lille has contrasting rails which is helpful when wrapping.  Mine was relatively thin, given Hoppediz's reputation.  Wide, moldable, good glide and soft, Lille is easy to wrap with.

Weight/Area: 238 g/qm
Width: 72 cm
Thickness:  22 mils
