A bolt is a piece of cloth woven on a loom or created by a knitting machine,[1][2][3][4][5][6][7] as it is processed, stored and/or marketed. Consequently, its dimensions are highly variable – flexible and dependent upon the manufacturing, machinery, quantity, size, thickness and quality of the product.[8] It is a unit used in manufacturing, transport and inventory.[9] It is also used as a descriptor for wallpaper, which uses different fabrication machinery.[upper-alpha 1] Being encompassing, it is by its nature a generic and ambiguous term of convenience and context, used to describe fabric and wallpaper.[10][11]
