What Is This Tool?

This tool converts lengths measured in span (cloth), a traditional textile unit, into twips, a precise typographic measurement commonly used in digital typesetting and layout design.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the length value in span (cloth) units
  • Select span (cloth) as the input unit and twip as the output unit
  • Click the convert button to see the equivalent value in twips
  • Use the result for accurate typographic or digital layout measurements

Key Features

  • Converts span (cloth) units to twip units quickly and accurately
  • User-friendly interface suitable for textile, typography, and GUI design applications
  • Browser-based and requires no installation
  • Supports conversions for historical textile measurements into digital layout units

Examples

  • 2 span (cloth) equals 25,920 twips
  • 0.5 span (cloth) equals 6,480 twips

Common Use Cases

  • Translating traditional textile measurements into precise digital layout units
  • Converting informal tailoring or handcraft fabric widths into typographic units
  • Using twips for fine-grained positioning in rich text formats and GUIs
  • Applying span (cloth) to twip conversions for desktop publishing and font metrics

Tips & Best Practices

  • Verify textile measurements before conversion due to span (cloth) variability
  • Use twip results in compatible digital publishing or GUI design software
  • Be aware that span (cloth) is approximate and may differ by source
  • Utilize the conversion to integrate historical data with modern digital layouts

Limitations

  • Span (cloth) is an approximate traditional measure dependent on hand size or source
  • Twip is a digital typographic unit not suited for direct physical measurement without conversion
  • Conversion accuracy relies on standard approximations and may not reflect all historical variations

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a span (cloth)?
A span (cloth) is a traditional unit of length based on the distance between the tip of the thumb and the tip of the little finger of an outstretched hand, commonly about 9 inches or 22.9 cm, used historically in textiles.

What is a twip?
A twip is a typographic unit equal to 1/20 of a printer's point or 1/1440 of an inch, used in digital typesetting for precise positioning and layout.

Why convert span (cloth) to twips?
Conversion enables translating traditional fabric width measurements into accurate digital layout units for desktop publishing, rich text formatting, and GUI design.

Key Terminology

Span (cloth)
A traditional non-SI length unit based on the outstretched hand span, typically about 9 inches, used historically in textiles.
Twip
A typographic unit equal to 1/20 of a printer’s point or 1/1440 inch, used for fine layout and typesetting measurements.
