And the length from your finger tip to the first joint of your index finger is approximately one inch. The widest part of your palm is roughly four inches.

 

the sewing and craft section of the Dewey Decimal system is the 640s.

 

to remember the difference between the warp and weft of a piece of fabric, the weft runs from weft to right (left to right) as you move warp speed ahead.
