Calculate GSM of fabric from the given data:Total Weight of fabric = 15.5 Kgs. Length of fabric = 35 meters. Width of fabric in open form = 65 inches.
Denier means yarn grams per 9000m, So, Denier=8/100*9000=720D. When weave this yarn into 1m*1m square fabric, lets calculate what's the weight will be per square meter (gsm).
Calculate separately the length of the yarn of each count in kilometers by simply dividing the given weight in grams by it's count number. Then add the length of all the yarns together. Also add the weight of all the yarns together.
It is worked out by counting the lengthwise (warp) threads, and then the width-wise (weft) threads. Once counted, the amount of weft threads and warp threads are added together to form the thread count. (E.g. a fabric with 100 warp threads and 100 weft threads is said to have a thread count of 200).
Cotton 40-40 is the heaviest. The weight of 40s count yarn is 1.5 times that of a yarn of 60s count. This is cheaper than both cotton 60-60 and cotton 60-40. Durability of clothes is a major issue and cotton 40-40 is the most durable fabric among all.
Yarn count refers to the thickness of a yarn and is determined by its mass per unit length. It is usually measured by the number of grams per one kilometer of yarn, a unit of measure called “Tex”.
1a : to recite or indicate the numbers in order by units or groups count by fives. b : to count the units in a group She was interrupted while she was counting. 2 : to rely or depend on someone or something —used with onHe counted on his parents to help with the expenses. 3 : add, total It counts up to a sizable amount

noun. the straight stalk of any of various tall grasses, especially of the genera Phragmites and Arundo, growing in marshy places. any of the plants themselves. such stalks or plants collectively. anything made from such a stalk or from something similar, as an arrow.
Divide the reed into sections vertically. Tie a string (or strings) across the reed that separate it into divisions, as many as threads in each dent. Then when you sley, you put the first thread through the bottom section, the second through the next section (in the same dent), the third in the next, etc.
A 12-dent reed will have 6 slots and 6 holes per inch allowing you to thread 12 warp ends per inch. Having a variety of reed sizes will give you a greater diversity of thicknesses of yarn to work with. The lower the dent size, the thicker the warp yarn you need, the higher the dent size, the thinner the yarn you need.
For most weavers, I usually recommend reeds in this order (so if you could get one, you'd get the 12; if two, the 12 and 10, etc.): 12-dent (because of the preponderance of 10/2 cotton at 2 epi), 10-dent, 8-dent, 15-dent, 6-dent.
Pick Glass is used to determine the reed and pick in woven fabric. Reed is actually number of ends or number of warp threads per inch and by picks we mean the number of picks or number of weft threads per inch.
Rigid Heddle Reeds are available in 5-dent (for bulky yarns), 8-dent (for worsted weight yarns), 10-dent (for sport weight yarns), & 12-dent (for fingering weight yarns).
Picks per inch/Inch (or p.p.i.) is the number of weft threads per inch of woven fabric. A pick is a single weft thread, hence the term. In general, the higher the picks per inch, the finer the fabric is.
Then you multiply that number (picks per inch) times the number of inches you'll be weaving the piece times the width of the weaving plus about 10% (for example, by 11 inches for something 10 inches wide). Then you divide this number by 36 inches to get the number of total yards needed.
You can do that just by sitting on your chair. For a newbie, EPI stands for Ends per inch and PPI stands for Picks per inch. Where Ends is known as Warps and Pick are known as weft yarn.
There are two cover factors for woven fabric:In cotton system cloth cover in particular direction (warp cover factor or weft cover factor) is calculated by taking the ration of threads per inch and square root of the yarn count (cotton count/English count).
The dents are the spaces in the reed through which the yarns are threaded in groups of two, three or more depending on the number of ends per centimetre required, the type of yarn being used and the weave.
Hank, in textile manufacture, unit of measure applied to a length of yarn or to a loose assemblage of fibres forming a single strand, and varying according to the fibre origin. A hank of cotton or of the spun silk made from short lengths of waste silk is 840 yards (770 m) long.
In general, weaving involves using a loom to interlace two sets of threads at right angles to each other: the warp which runs longitudinally and the weft (older woof) that crosses it. One warp thread is called an end and one weft thread is called a pick.
The 3 main tests used to diagnose EPI are:
- Fecal elastase test. This test measures the amount of elastase, an enzyme produced by the pancreas, in your stool.
- Fecal fat test. This test checks the amount of fat in your stool.
- Direct pancreatic function test.
The number of warp yarns per one inch or centimeter of fabric. This is also called sley, warp end count, ends per inch, or ends per centimeter.
To calculate the amount of weft, you need to know warp width, the number of picks per inch, and the length of the weaving. I usually add ten percent to that number for weft take-up. (So for an 8" wide warp woven at 20 picks per inch for 65": 8" x 20 x 65" = 10,400" divided by 36"/yd = 288 yd plus 10% = 317 yd.
