When I first bought this knit of unknown content (feels like cotton) from Fabric Recycles, I thought it was 60 inches wide by about 2 yards. But when I went to cut it, I realized it had more stretch along the long edge. I think it's actually 70 inches wide (unusual but not unheard of) and 1.3 yards long.
Either way, it was cut horribly off grain (probably arrived at the store that way). Knits can be tricky like that. And this one has a kind of diagonal direction to the variations in the blue. I've worn it once, and it doesn't twist, so I think I got the grain correct.
