I live in Jamaica and it is not always easy to do anything here, let alone find out answers to strange questions!
I need to pay postage weight on cotton material shipped from one side of the island to the other.
I know that I need 270 yards of linen and need to know how much one yard would weigh so I can calculate the total poundage. I've looked around the house for something to cut up that would be the equivalent of one yard of material to take to the local shop where I could weigh it in the old fashioned hanging scales we have, but haven't yet found anything I can afford to cut up.
I guess my question might be how many yards of cotton material (heavier than bed sheeting, perhaps more like linen used for table cloths?) would equal one pound?
OR....if there are easier measuring/weighing techniques, what could I do to find the answer.
Nothing is forthcoming from the local Jamaican stores I'm dealing with.

Dear convert-me.com forum visitors,
Our forum has been available for many years. In September 2014 we decided to switch it to read-only mode. Month after month we saw less posts with questions and answers from real people and more spam posts. We were spending more and more resources cleaning the spam until there were less them 1 legitimate message per 100 spam posts. Then we decided it's time to stop.
All the posts in the forum will be available and searchable. We understand there are a lot of useful information and we aren't going to remove anything. As for the new questions, you can always ask them on convert-me.com FaceBook page
Thank you for being with us and sorry for any inconveniences this could caused.
