WARP AND WEFT CALCULATIONS

Finished length of total piece......................
Fringe/Hems.............................................
Shrinkage (depends on yarn & finishing)....
Take-up (10% for balanced weave)............
Extra length for samples..............................
Loom waste of 18" to 36"..........................
TOTAL LENGTH OF WARP
divided by 36 to change  to yards

TOTAL WIDTH...........................................

Multiply WIDTH x Ends per Inch (EPI)..........
TOTAL WIDTH X EPI = TOTAL # OF ENDS
