I made these templates to help you keep your projects organized, calculate yarn quantities with precision and price your textile projects with accuracy. I hope they work for you as well as they do for me!
This template calculates the warp and weft required for your project and has places to fill out all project details so you can keep track of what you did! I keep one of these for each warp with a swatch attached in a binder. It makes referring to old projects easy!
Keep in mind my templates are based on the imperial system of measurement. If you use the metric system, feel free to download and edit the formulas!
Includes:
Warp and weft calculations with shrinkage and take up estimates
Places to record your yarn information, tie-up, threading and treadling
Places to record your project measurements (before and after finishing)
A spot to affix a swatch of your finished fabric for record keeping
