English term or phrase: linear inch
From about AD 700 to 1100, Wari influence is noted in the art, technology and architecture of most areas in Peru. These include elaborate tie-dyed tunics and delicate and finely woven textiles featuring stylized designs of human figures and geometric patterns – some of which contained a record-breaking ***398 threads per linear inch***.

Je trouve des explications en anglais pour cette expression, mais qui ne s'appliquent pas au domaine qui m'intéresse (et que je ne suis pas sûre de comprendre par ailleurs).

Quelqu'un saurait-il m'éclairer ? Merci d'avance
