Stash evolution

It may come as no surprise that I like wraps. A lot. I've had many different wraps. Some stayed a while, some I sold almost immediately.

The evolution of my stash.

Ellevill Caelum He & She

They've been announced and postponed a million times, but now they finally will be here mid/end April: Ellevill Caelum He & She with 50% silk! They're approximately 25% thicker than the extremely thin first batch of Caelum (which had the Jade pattern). The new Caelum will have the Zara pattern. Take a look at these pretties!

Didymos Purple-azzurro Indio

It's a true purple party with linen at Didymos! The latest linen release is Purple-azzurro Indio with 40% linen. A shimmering beauty!

Didymos Purple-royal Indio (1 and 2)

So first, there was Purple-royal Indio with 40% linen. It was only available in size 6 in very limited quantities. I bought a size 6 for personal use. A week later, Purple-royal Indio/2 was released. I have both here right now, time for the geeky comparison you've all been waiting for!

Purple-royal/1 is thin. Very thin. Purple-royal/2 is 20% heavier for the same size, so I think it's safe to say it's 20% thicker. It feels a bit more substantial.

The colors are exactly the same, the purple is the same and the royal blue is the same. But the linen thread in Purple-royal/2 is thicker double, thus creating a little more contrast.

I love them both very much!
