    Calculate Warp and Weft For Balanced Fabric: Length of One Warp Thread Calculate Warp Width

    Uploaded by

    Majid Khan
    The document provides instructions for calculating the warp and weft requirements for a balanced fabric. It includes a table to enter the finished lengths and hems/fringes of multiple fabric pieces. It also includes fields to enter information like shrinkage percentage, takeup percentage, warp thread length, ends per inch (EPI), desired piece width and more. These values are used to calculate the total warp and weft yards required based on the length and width of the woven fabric. At the bottom is contact information for a company that can provide more details.
