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 fabric of my faithful love
    No power shall dim or ravel
    Whilst I stay here—but oh, my dear,
    If I should ever travel!”
    —Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892–1950)

    “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)

    “We all participate in weaving the social fabric; we should therefore all participate in patching the fabric when it develops holes—mismatches between old expectations and current realities.”
    —Anne C. Weisberg (20th century)
