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.
