In sewing, the term "bolt" refers to a large roll or spool of fabric, typically measuring several yards. The name likely originates from the Old English word "bolt," which means a long, cylindrical object. Historically, fabric was often sold in this manner, making it convenient for both merchants and customers to measure and cut the desired length. The term has persisted in the industry to describe this standard unit of fabric.
