Textile Lecture Companion

Three complete courses by Muhammad Rizwan Zubair rebuilt as interactive web pages: every worksheet is a live spreadsheet you can edit, every weave is drawn on point paper, and every calculation explains itself. Pick a course to begin, or use the search box on the left.

Textile Costing

Financial and managerial accounting applied to spinning, weaving, dyeing, printing and stitching — from the accounting equation to a full product costing.

26 lectures · 40 live worksheets

Fabric Design

Woven structures on point paper: plain, twill, satin and their derivatives, drafting, hexadecimal design notation, cords, piqué, double cloth, colour-and-weave and fabric analysis.

21 lectures · 70 weave diagrams

Weaving Calculations

Yarn counts, fabric weight, warping, sizing, beams, reeds, cover factor, crimp, loom production, planning and feasibility of a weaving plant.

21 pages covering 28 lectures · 30 live worksheets

How to use this file

Everything runs locally in your browser — no internet needed. In the spreadsheet blocks, cells with blue numbers are inputs: change them and every dependent cell recalculates, exactly as in Excel. Click a grey cell to see its formula in the formula bar. Weave diagrams follow the hexadecimal notation taught in Fabric Design Lecture 10: one hexadecimal number per pick, the first number being the bottom pick, a “1” bit meaning the warp end is lifted.
