Hi Ryan!
Nice calculator. It's a great idea. We had a similar calculator which never was officially launched. If you have suggestions for any of our automated tools free to e-mail me
info@rugrag.comI just took a look at the weaving time.
Correct me if I'm mistaken please:
A rug, 8' x 10' at 80 KPSI
80 KPSI * 144 (square inches in square foot) * 80 (total square footage of the rug) = 921,600 knots
The calculator comes up with 9,920,000
For an 80 KPSI rug, we estimate 2 - 3 weavers in 8x10 size and ~ 4-7 months not including production outside of weaving.
Average the two time spans together = 5.5 months, 2.5 weavers = 1,000,000 knots
Divide 1,000,000 by 2.5 weavers to find out 1 weaver production = 400,000 knots per 1 worker (based upon the calculator's assumption of 1 weaver.)
The calculator currently shows approximately 4 years 8 months for one weaver to complete or 55 months. The multiplier of 10 is in there somewhere, otherwise, you're right on the money.
All the best,
