Sewing threads are an essential component of the apparel industry. They are used to stitch different types of fabrics and materials together to create a finished product. To ensure the production process runs smoothly, it is crucial to calculate the length of thread required for a particular garment. However, calculating the length of sewing thread required can be challenging for those new to the apparel industry. In this article, we will explore how to calculate the length of sewing threads for different materials in the apparel industry.
Do you ever find out length of 2
lbs. (pound) single cotton threads? The question may be tough for apparel probationers to solve. This is so easy if we know the information below.
1 lb. single cotton thread length = 840 yards
1 lb. single linen / viscose thread length =
300 yards
1 lb. single wool thread length = 300 yards
1 lb. single silk thread length = 840 yards
1 lb. single acrylic thread length = 560 yards
Now we can answer the questions above, right?
(We know, 1 lb. single cotton thread length = 840 yards)
(1 lb. single (1s)
cotton thread length = 840 yards)
Therefore, Sixteen Single (16s) = 16 × 840 = 13440 yards = 1 lb.
Note: Thus we can calculate length of other threads. The count of thread will be increased, then the thickness of yarn will be decreased.
Knowing how to calculate sewing thread lengths is a valuable skill for anyone working in the apparel industry. By having this information, production processes can run more smoothly, and the finished product's quality and consistency can be maintained. Understanding the length of a single thread for different materials is essential in determining the required length of thread for a particular garment.
