Weight of a yard of fabric?
#1
Does anyone know the weight of a yard of fabric? Or how many yards of fabric equal a pound? I am asking because I am thinking of going to the Connecting Threads warehouse sale tomorrow where they are selling scraps of their fabric for $2.99/pound.

A yard of fabric such as SSI can weigh as little as 4.5 oz and Robert Kaufman and some Hoffmans may weigh a little over 6 oz. I have been selling on eBay for almost 1.5 years. I try to keep my shipping as close as I can to the actual cost. 13oz is usually around 2.5 yards. Anything over 13 oz must them be shipped in a priority envelope. But usually shop owners can get at least 8 yards stuffed in one of those. That brings down the cost per yard to around 75 cents. HOPE this helps you. GOOD LUCK !!!

and CT fabric is generally thinner than most, so who knows...either way...you can not beat that price!
