A Yard is a British unit of measurement often used with fabrics. African fabrics are also always folded by the yard, and a "complete" African fabric has a length of exactly 6 yards. This is also the reason we offer the fabric by the yard, and not by the meter.
Officially, 1 yard is exactly equal to 91.4cm.
Note: In practice, a slight deviation from this length may occur when we cut the fabrics to size: Fabrics cut to size by us ( fabrics shorter than 6 yards ) can deviate a maximum of a few centimeters from our size chart. This is because we always cut on the fold line of each yard from the factory. It sometimes happens that this fold is slightly shifted.
