Thread count refers to the number of threads woven per square inch of fabric. Thread count is simply the sum of the horizontal yarns added to the vertical yarns in one single square inch of fabric. But higher count sheets don’t always mean better fabric. The yarn weight is also an important factor. Before attempting to weave any type of fabric we always have to ask the question what is the final fabric finish we are looking to achieve. What’s the fabric weight and what’s the density. For example if we are looking to make a 300 thread count fabric best yarns to use are combed 60s and combed 40s and we need 174 vertical yarns (warp) with 126 horizontal yarns ( weft) for each square inch. If you add both yarns total is 300, which is your thread count. To weave a 600 thread count , we must use half the size of the yarns we used to make our 300, we need 120s yarns to replace 60s and we need 80s to replace our 40s ( the higher the number the thinner the yarn). In Today’s market most textile manufacture are after profit and won’t pay much attention to which yarns are used to make what. For example, they may use 60s yarns or 60s & 80s to make and not combed yarns, carded to make 600 thread count sheets which will result in cheap fabric. So it’s more important what yarns are used to make what! Dreamweave offers both 300 and 600 Thread Count Cotton sheets. We use only premium combed long staple cotton yarns. We use 60 and 40 weight for the 300 Thread Count, and 120 and 80 weight for our 600 Thread Count, resulting in the creation of only highest quality Cotton fabrics.
