In one load in an average sized drum, you could expect to fit 5 small towels and 10 lightweight tops. Or 4 pairs of jeans, a jumper and 20 pairs of socks or underwear. Or 2 bedsheets and 4 pillowcases.
1kg of laundry is equal to two bath towels OR one shirt and one pair of jeans or 5 shirts. By this measurement, to run a six kilogram wash, you could wash 30 tee shirts or twelve towels. These are not exact guidelines so use them as a rough idea of what it might be.
If it is men's clothing 1 kg will be about 1 regular pair of pants or 4 T-shirts. A pair of man's denim jeans will be somewhere between 1.5 and 2 kg. If it is woman's clothing 1 kg will be about 1 pair of denim jeans or about 6 T-shirts.
WHAT DOES A KILO OF CLOTHES LOOK LIKE? Well, different types of clothes will weigh different amounts, but very roughly it's about 4 dresses or a thick jumper and blouse with a pair of jeans.
How much does an average t-shirt weigh? The weight of a t-shirt can vary significantly depending on the material, size, and thickness of the fabric. However, as a general rule, a medium-sized t-shirt made from a standard cotton fabric weighs around 4.5 to 5.5 ounces (roughly 130–155 grams).

A 5 kg drum will accommodate sheets and towels for an individual or a household of two people. A 6 kg drum will hold a single duvet. A 7 kg drum can wash a double duvet or the towels and sheets for a small family. An 8 kg drum can wash a queen or a lightweight size duvet.
While there are no official standardized designations, usually lightweight denim is 5-12oz, mid-weight is 12-16oz, over 16oz is considered heavyweight. Many people consider 13-16oz mid-heavy-weight. Designers and manufacturers will choose which denim is most appropriate given the season and type of clothing being made.

Low-capacity top-loaders may accommodate only 6 pounds of clothing to be full. Medium-capacity top-loading washing machines can usually tolerate 7–8 pounds. The highest capacity top-loaders might do well with as much as 12–15 pounds. Front-loading washing machines often can hold as much as 18 pounds of clothing.
How much weight do I subtract for clothes and shoes?
Wearing clothing while weighing yourself can add up to two pounds—more if you're wearing shoes. Again, this isn't a big deal if you consistently weigh yourself wearing the same thing, but since our clothes vary with our moods and seasons, it's best to go without when you step on the scale.
