What do you call a _________ of cloth? [closed]

Something that refers to a collection of folded up cloth you'd buy at a store. An official term? I'm blanking.

Solution 1:

Bolt:

a length or roll of cloth or wallpaper

(Cambridge Dictionary)

A bolt is a unit of measurement used as an industry standard for a variety of materials from wood to canvas, typically materials stored in a roll. Length will vary according to the type of material measured.1 The length is usually either 40 or 100 yards, but varies depending on the fabric being referred to.

bolts of cloth

from Wikipedia

The usage of bolt referring to cloth is very old, it dates back to the 15th century:

Applied since Middle English to other short metal rods (especially those with knobbed ends). A bolt of canvas (c. 1400) was so called for its shape.

(Etymonline)

Solution 2:

I suspect you're referring to a bundle of different cloths that are sold for quilting. If so, then you're usually talking about fat quarters (18x22 inches) or cake layers (9" squares). There are even smaller charm squares (about 5") which are sold in bundles, but these are not always folded.

cloth left after the rest has been sold or used
