Span (Cloth)

A span is an old unit of length based on the distance between the tip of the thumb and the tip of the little finger of a fully extended hand. Traditionally, it measures about 9 inches or 22.86 centimeters.

In the context of cloth and textiles, the span was used as a convenient, informal measure to estimate small lengths of fabric before standardized rulers became widespread. It was helpful for tailors and traders to quickly gauge lengths during measuring and cutting.

While the span is largely obsolete as a formal unit today, it reflects historical measurement practices tied closely to the human body, similar to the cubit or hand.

Summary:

1 span ≈ 9 inches (22.86 cm)
Based on the hand’s spread
Used historically in cloth measurement and tailoring
Now mostly of historical and cultural interest

Vara Conuquera

The vara conuquera is a traditional Spanish unit of length used historically in some parts of Spain and Spanish America, especially in land measurement. It is a regional variation of the vara, which generally measures around 33 inches (about 0.84 meters), but the vara conuquera specifically is associated with the unit used for measuring conucos—small agricultural plots or gardens.

The length of the vara conuquera could vary locally but was typically similar to or a fraction of the standard vara. It was used primarily in rural land surveying and agriculture to define plots and land boundaries.

Summary:

Vara conuquera: a regional variant of the vara
Approximately 0.83 to 0.84 meters (varied by region)
Used historically for measuring small agricultural plots (conucos)
Common in Spanish and Latin American land measurement contexts

Today, the vara conuquera is mostly of historical interest, reflecting old land measurement traditions.
