How the calculation works

project mass = sample mass × project area ÷ sample area

The estimate assumes the same yarns, structure, sett, beat, and finishing. It does not include loom waste or determine how much warp versus weft to buy. Use the project planner for yarn purchasing.

Full calculation methodology

Worked example

A 10 × 10 sample weighing 25 g predicts 200 g for 20 × 40 cloth with the same construction.

Use the complete weaving planner to connect the dimensions, allowances, and yarn quantities for one project.
