Really do you all honestly know????????????? Should I be doing this??????
About a year ago I carefully folded fabric to fit into a "small" Home Depot moving box.

The box was 12x16x12 inches -
I got 115 yards of fabric in it.
The fabric weighed 32 pounds, 8 ounces.

(The empty box weighed 14.5 ounces.)

On this particular batch of fabric - Fabric Traditions - it was 3.5 yards of fabric per pound. (A yard of this fabric weighed approximately 4.5 ounces.)
