Single wall carbon nanotubes
A single wall carbon nanotube (SWCNT) can be thought of as a sheet of graphite (a hexagonal lattice of carbon) rolled into a cylinder. Typical diameters of SWCNTs are in the range of 0.7 - 1.4 nm and their length can be of several micrometers.
The image shows the different types of carbon structures: diamond, fullerene, graphite, and nanotube structure.

Yes you are right that single wall carbon nanotube (SWCNT) can be thought of as a sheet of graphite (a hexagonal lattice of carbon) rolled into a cylinder.
