Use the exact length relationship
One international yard equals 0.9144 metre. Multiply yards by 0.9144 to obtain metres; divide metres by 0.9144 to obtain yards. For this site’s wax range, 6 yards equals 5.4864 metres. The conversion is a length fact, not a new product measurement or a claim about usable cutting yield.
Keep piece counts beside the calculation
Three confirmed 6-yard wax pieces total 18 yards, equivalent to 16.4592 metres. They remain three pieces; the calculation does not make them one continuous length. State the count and original unit first, then add the conversion only if it helps the maker understand the requirement.
Explore the productsDo not mix width with length
A metre of length does not describe the fabric width. Keep both dimensions in the specification, and ask the maker to use the actual width in the cutting plan. The wax width here is confirmed at 115 cm; other categories need their own width and selling-unit confirmation.
Agree rounding before forming the order
A rough planning conversion should be labelled as such. Do not round down a requirement and assume it will meet the cutting plan. Ask the maker for the required allowance, then confirm which selling unit can supply that amount. A conversion worksheet and the final agreed quantity serve different purposes.
A practical comparison
| Original quantity | Equivalent length |
|---|---|
| 1 piece = 6 yards | 5.4864 metres |
| 2 pieces = 12 yards | 10.9728 metres |
| 3 pieces = 18 yards | 16.4592 metres |
Your buying checklist
- Retain the original selling unit.
