How to understand the width of fabric?

Width is the actual width of the fabric, the distance between the outer warp yarns on both sides of the fabric, also called the width. Door width is also called Bufeng, Bufeng is the name in Guangdong, and door width is the name in the Yangtze River Delta area. Now you know, there are three main ways to express the width of fabrics in China: door width, width, and cloth seal. Generally, the unit of fabric width in China is expressed in inches or centimeters.

Generally, the fabrics sold by textile factories are of edge-to-edge width. When clothing factories use fabrics, they will ask to know the cuttable width of the fabric. The cuttable width is the range that can be used when the fabric is processed.

The door width can be cut = edge to edge width – 2 inches.

Wide width means the fabric is 2.3~2.35 meters wide, narrow width means the fabric is 1.5~1.6 meters wide. Generally speaking, wide-width sheets and quilt covers are not spliced, and most of them indicate “full width” in a prominent place on the packaging bag. Narrow-width sheets and quilt covers must be spliced. Most people like wide width ones (especially the elderly who have suffered a lot, because splicing always makes people feel like they are short of food, clothing, and financially stressed. However, I have seen a lot of bedding made with floral and broken square splicing, which looks like a British manor) style, very beautiful), the cost of wide fabrics of the same quality may be higher.

Factors affecting fabric width:

1. The thicker the yarn count, the larger the door width will be;

2. The heavier the finished product is, the smaller the door width will be;

3. The larger the horizontal contraction, the larger the door width will be; (This generally has a very small impact, only about 2-3CM)

4. The included needles in the structure will increase the door width, while the flat needles will make the door width smaller.

At present, the common standards for fabric width on the market are 36 inches, 44 inches, 56-60 inches, etc., which are called narrow width, medium width and wide width respectively. Fabrics higher than 60 inches are extra wide. Width is generally called wide cloth. The width of extra wide fabrics in my country today can reach 360 cm.
