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.

Colimacon & Cie 2011, White
I ordered a C&C in the new weave out of curiosity. It is a workhorse wrap that is easy on the budget. I went on to split and then dye both pieces. First I replaced the red and black stitching with cotton threads that would accept dye.

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!)
