The weight of yarn is required in the following manner

Rule

Multiply the length of the piece required by the count of the reed and the product by the wedth at the reed for a dividind for the warp dividind 840 yds 1 hank divisor

Then Multiply the length of the piece by the picks 1 inch then by the inches wide at the reed for a dividend for filling andivid by the number of yds in one hank then add the two products together and divide by the number of yarn and the decimals by the [or?] lb
