It is from New Zealand pure merino wool woven by Alliance Textiles, Timaru, New Zealand.

Don't know how to convert. It's 230 grams/square meter.

Assuming 60 inches wide, and forgive a bit of rounding

60/39"/meter ~ 1.6 m x 230 g/m = 354 g/linear meter

354 g/linear m / 454 g/lb ~0.78 lb x 16oz / lb ~12.5 oz. Allowing for my rounding errors figure 13 oz. cloth.

whew - ya gotta love dimensional analysis.
