What is a finger (cloth) unit?

It is a traditional, informal length measurement based on the breadth of a human finger used mainly in tailoring and handcrafting.

Why convert finger (cloth) to yard?

Converting to yards provides a standardized length unit for better accuracy and communication, especially in fabric measurement and tailoring.

Is the finger (cloth) measurement exact?

No, it varies by person and context, so it serves as an approximate measurement rather than an exact standard.
