How to Estimate Required Materials
The following relationship may be applied:
Ø = Braid Angle
L = Harness Length
L' = Yarn Length Inches
TOTAL YARN LENGTH, L' (INCHES) =
(Number of Braid Carriers N x Braid Diameter (") x 3.14)
CosØ
x Harness Length
POUNDS REQUIRED, W (LBS) =
Total Yarn Length, L'
36 x (Yield yds/lbs)
YIELD (YDS/LBS)
