A term describing how a fabric hangs and falls, influenced by the fabric's weight, density, and stiffness.

The density of threads in a fabric, measured by counting the number of threads contained in one square inch of fabric.

A metric measurement of the weight of fabric, indicating grams per square meter. It's measured by weighing a standard size of fabric.

A numerical value that indicates how much of the surface area of a fabric is covered by fibers, influenced by the yarns' density and fineness.

The mass of material per unit volume, commonly measured in g/cm³ for fabrics and calculated using the mass divided by the volume.

The number of threads per unit area in a woven fabric, influencing fabric weight, strength, and texture.

The quality of the fibers in terms of diameter and fineness, often measured in microns or by the fiber’s grade.

A unit of measure for the linear mass density of fibers and yarns, given as the weight in grams of 1,000 meters of yarn.

The mass of a fibrous material (like batting or insulation) per unit volume that includes both the fibers and the air space between fibers.

A non-metric unit used to measure the weight of silk fabrics, equivalent to the weight in pounds of a piece of fabric measuring 45 inches by 100 yards.

The ability of a textile, especially non-woven fabrics, to recover from compression, related to fabric density and fiber resilience.

A term referring to the number of layers or threads that make up the fabric, affecting the fabric's thickness and weight.

A measurement of the weight of fabric in the imperial system, indicating ounces per square yard. Typically measured by weighing a one-yard cut of fabric.

A qualitative measure of the feel, weight, and softness of fabric, generally assessed by touch and experience rather than a quantitative measure.
