What is a Cadelle? Understanding the Measurement System Used in the Textile Industry

Cadelles are a unit of length used in the measurement of cloth, particularly in the textile industry. The term is derived from the French word "cadelle," which means "measuring rod."

In the context of cloth measurement, a cadelle is equal to 1/4 of a yard or 25 inches. It is commonly used to measure the width of fabric, and it is often abbreviated as "cddl" or "cdl."

For example, if a piece of fabric measures 40 inches in width, it would be described as 10 cadelles (40 / 4 = 10). This measurement system is widely used in the textile industry to ensure consistent and accurate measurements of cloth.
