What is a span (cloth)?

A span (cloth) is a traditional measurement roughly equal to the distance between the thumb and little finger of an outstretched hand, commonly about 9 inches or 22.9 cm. It was used in textile contexts to describe narrow fabric widths.

What does vara conuquera measure?

Vara conuquera is a historical regional variant of the Spanish vara, used previously for land surveying, building dimensions, and cadastral records in Spanish-speaking regions before metrication.

Can I use this tool for precise modern measurements?

No, due to the variable and approximate nature of both span (cloth) and vara conuquera, the conversion is intended for historical and academic contexts rather than precise modern engineering.
