What each input means

Warp Threads per Inch
Number of lengthwise (warp) threads per inch
Weft Threads per Inch
Number of crosswise (weft/filling) threads per inch
Fabric Width
Width of the fabric in inches
Fabric Length
Length of fabric in yards

How this is calculated

Worked example, using the default values

  1. Identify Input Parameters
    4 parameters
    Warp Threads per Inch = 100, Weft Threads per Inch = 80, Fabric Width = 60, Fabric Length = 1 = 4 input(s) provided
  2. Calculate Thread Count
    Thread Count
    180 = 180
  3. Calculate Density Class
    Density Class
    Medium = Medium
  4. Calculate Total Warp Threads
    Total Warp Threads
    6000 = 6000
