Yarn Requirement Calculator

Compute gross raw yarn procurement weight required for a designated fabric order.

Includes knitting fly lint, edge trimming, scouring, and compacting losses (normally 4% - 7%).

Procurement Equation

Gross Yarn (kg) = Net Fabric (kg) / (1 - (Loss % / 100))

Knitting mills must order yarn accounting for dry lint shedding, creel waste, dye house scouring loss, and stentering edge trim.

Manufacturing Notice: Fabric specifications such as GSM, width, composition and performance may vary depending on yarn, construction, finishing process, manufacturer and end use. Values shown are general industry reference information and should not be treated as a supplier specification.
