How to find the Number of Ends in a fabric when weight, count and Length of Warp is Given
This calculation is taken from "Textile Calculations" by Ashenhurst
For cotton
Multiply the weight of the yarn in lbs x Yarn count x 840)/yards of warp required
Change 840 to appropriate systems for other fibers.
eg. It is desired to make 3 kg of 40s cotton into a warp 56 meters long, how many ends will it contain:
1 kg = 2.2 lbs
1 m = 1.09 yards
So the number of ends that it will contain is
(3 x 2.2 x 40 x 840)/(56 x 1.09)= 3633 ends.
