Some measurements we've collected on fabric
These measurements are believed to be correct at the time of
determination but are offered without guarantee for accuracy or
correctness. Please use them as a guide an estimate and
order a sample if the dimension or weight is a critical element
of the fabric for your usage.

Some examples
To convert oz/sq yard to total fabric weight use the following
formula
- Weight per linear yard = fabric width / 36 * Weight /sq
yard * Total length of fabric in yards
(As an example, let's calculate the weight of 7 yards of
Harbor-Time. Harbor Time is 62" wide so the weight of 7
yards is 62 / 36 * 11 * 7 = 132.6 oz, or 8.3 lbs.)
To convert oz/sq yard to g/sq m use the following formula
- Weight, oz per sq yd * 23.70 = Weight, grams per square
meter
(As an example, let's convert the weight of Harbor-Time, whose
English weight is 11 oz/sq yd. 11* 23.70 = 261 g/sq
m)
To convert mils to mm use the following formula
- Thickness in mils x 0.0254 = Thickness in millimeters
(As an example, let's calculate the thickness of Harbor-Time,
which is 16 mils (0.016") thick. 16 * 0.0254 = 0.41mm)
