I'm looking at a few bolts of this stuff on ebay and trying to find out what the weight is but it's like she hasn't a clue what I mean. She's going to weigh the entire bolt tomorrow soooooo...
Hopefully this is 6 oz. material so I can 2 ply the kilt to make 12 oz.
Correct me if I'm wrong in my logic here in calculating what the bolt should weigh if it's 6 oz / sq. yd. The bolt is 60" wide x 10 yds
1 yd 60" wide would be 24 oz.
times
10 yds
equals 240 oz. for the bolt
converted to lbs. = about 15 lbs.
Does that sound right?
I figure a bolt is enough to make 2 kilts at 5 yds each. The material will cost about $16.00 US. Maybe this is a waste of time, but 2 sturdy comfy kilts for $16.00 sounds worth a shot !!!!
Thanks Geoduck, let me know if they like the idea.
