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)

Famous quotes containing the word fabric:

    “The lore of our fathers is a fabric of sentences.... It is a pale gray lore, black with fact and white with convention. But I have found no substantial reasons for concluding that there are any quite black threads in it, or any white ones.”
    —Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)

    “We have seen that men are learning that work, productivity, and marriage may be very important parts of life, but they are not its whole cloth. The rest of the fabric is made of nurturing relationships, especially those with children—relationships which are intimate, trusting, humane, complex, and full of care.”
    —Kyle D. Pruett (20th century)

    “Here [in London, history] ... seemed the very fabric of things, as if the city were a single growth of stone and brick, uncounted strata of message and meaning, age upon age, generated over the centuries to the dictates of some now all-but-unreadable DNA of commerce and empire.”
    —William Gibson (b. 1948)
