4 TOOLS TO EXPLORE

Fabric quantities

Explore fabric quantities tools with formulas, input guidance and worked examples.

Calculate fabric roll mass from the stated quantities. Net fabric mass excludes roll core and packing.

Calculate fabric roll length from net mass from the stated quantities. Length is inferred from net mass, not measured directly.

Calculate fabric dimensional shrinkage from the stated quantities. Negative reductions indicate growth. Area change combines both directional ratios.

Calculate fabric pre-shrink cut size from the stated quantities. Divide by the retained fraction; simply adding a percent gives a different result.
