Let me Thread count the ways: A guide to understanding Thread Count and Fabrics

Most of you might yell “OH SHEET” when it comes down to the math and science of thread count, but it’s actually quite simple. Let me begin by defining what thread count really means in sheets or any other products. The thread count means the number of threads woven together in a square inch. You count both lengthwise (warp) and widthwise (weft) threads. So if there were 100 widthwise and 100 lengthwise you would have sheet that is produced of a thread count of 200.  In most cases, a high thread count creates a smoother, softer feel. Sheets with a low thread count may feel very rough and coarse, while those with higher thread counts will be much smoother and softer. However, a higher thread count does not necessarily mean higher quality. If the threads within the sheet are of a poor quality, a higher thread count will not improve the quality of the sheet. It is perfectly normal for a fabric with a thread count of 200 high quality fibers to feel better than a thread count of 400 inferior quality fibers or twisted threads.yhst-72531153481428_2262_152803754
