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.

Vatanai Naglitki


Vatanai Naglitki has been produced in atleast two version.  Generally referred to as Old Whales (top wrap) the first version is more narrow, thinner and woven in the same colors as Glaciar.  My other Naglitki was woven early in 2010 and is slightly greener.  Later Naglitkis are different still (but I don't have that one).
