Aerial Fabric - Low Stretch
You've got it all, but just need some lovely jubbly new fabric... so here it is :)
But Seriously....
Our low stretch fabric has been carefully selected for its texture (not too slippy, not too rough), it's thickness (because you need enough to grab but not too much) and of course its tensile strength. So as Goldilocks would say,
"It's just right!"
Here are some reasons why we love LOW stretch vs. MEDIUM stretch...
- Easier to climb.
- Easier to grip.
- Doesn’t cinch as tight in knots and wraps (so feel’s less ‘bite-ey’’).
- Easier to set the height in the case of Aerial Hammock/Sling.
- More supportive in the static poses explored in an Aerial Yoga context.
How to choose the correct fabric length:
Silks/Tissu:
1. Measure the distance from the floor to the attachment point, this is your drop!
2. Select the closest length keeping in mind you want your tails on the ground to have space for wraps.
*We calculated our drop lengths by multiplying the distance from floor to attachment by 2, then adding 1m for tails :)
*Custom Lengths Available ($21/m)
Hammock/Sling:
1. Measure the distance from the floor to the attachment point/s.
2. Multiply the distance by 2.
3. For Aerial Yoga, deduct 1m. In the case of Dance Hammock, deduct 2m.
*Custom Lengths Available ($21/m)
