Yarn Weight - Fabric

Fabric

The following equation may be used to determine the weight of warp and weft required for a particular fabric:

• Weight of warp = (0.65 x qty. of fabric (metres) x no. of warp ends) / count

If there are two colors in the warp, use the following equations:

• Weight of color A (kg) = (0.65 x qty. of fabric (metres) x no. of warp ends of color A) / count of color A
• Weight of color B (kg) = (0.65 x Qty. of fabric (metres) x no. of warp ends of color B) / count of color B

If the counts of two warps are the same:

• Weight of color A (kg) = (total weight of warp reqd. x no. of ends of color A) / total no. of warp ends
• Weight of color B (kg) = (total weight of warp reqd. x no. of ends of color B) / total no. of warp ends

or

• Weight of color (B) = total weight of warp reqd. - weight of color A
• Weight of weft = (0.6 x qty. of fabric (metres) x PPI x reed space) / count

If there are two colors in the weft:

• Weight of color A (kg) = (0.6 x qty. of fabric (metres) x PPI of color A x reed space) / count of color A
• Weight of color B (kg) = (0.6 x qty. of fabric (metres) x PPI of color B x reed space) / count of color B

or

• Weight of color (B) = total weight of weft reqd. - weight of color A

• Another formula

1. Reed x width / 7000 = Ans
2. Ans x quantity (mtr) / count = The weight required(Kg)
