How to Use This Calculator

Enter the tapestry design width and height in inches.
Set the warp EPI — tapestry typically uses 6–12 ends per inch.
Set the weft PPI — higher values (20–40) give finer detail.
Enter the number of weft colors in your design.
Enter the loom waste in inches (unweavable warp at front and back, typically 18–24 in).
Read the total weft yardage, average yarn per color, and warp yardage needed — purchase at least 10% extra for each color.
