Cotton Quality
The Thread Count
This is a measure of the number of yarns woven into one square inch of fabric. Generally, the higher the thread count the softer the fabric is. Good quality bed linens have a thread count of 180 or higher.
However a word of caution, it is quite common to get high thread count fabric that is very poor and discerning customers must be wary when buying products described as Egyptian Cotton.
The Quality of the Yarn
The finest cotton in the world is grown on the banks of the River Nile. Egyptian Cotton is renowned because it yields the longest staple cotton in the world. Staple means the individual cotton fibre or hair.
Here at HomeCottons we select Egyptian Cotton sheets which are only produced in Egyptian Cotton mills producing a strictly limited amount of fabric each day. This ensures the superiority of our cotton and the product created by the craftsmen.
The long staple cotton can be spun into a smoother, stronger, much finer yarn, so that it is possible to weave more threads per inch into the fabric, resulting in a higher thread count.
A word of warning, short staple cotton yarns can be crammed into a square inch to create a high thread count, as a result the fabric will feel course, which cannot be compared to the fine Egyptian Cotton, sold by HomeCottons.
The Quality of Construction
The expertise and experience of the craftsmen is a key component to producing fine linens. From selecting the type and fineness of the yarn to choose for the weave, to the diameter of the yarn to create the desired hand such as silken sateen, crisp percale or lustrous jacquard. The Egyptian Cotton mills we use have extensive knowledge of their craft.
The Quality of Finishing
Our craftsmen's attention to detail continues beyond selecting, spinning and weaving the worlds finest Egyptian Cotton. Fabric finishing and sewing is key to giving the discerning customer the real thing.
Our Egyptian Cotton sheets are mercerised which helps plump the fibres as a result this strengthens the fabric and gives it a more lustrous look.
The result of all our care and attention gives you the customer an unblemished cloth that is genuinely 100% Egyptian Cotton.
There is nothing like the comfort and luxury of an Egyptian Cotton sheet to transform your quality of sleep, it is a luxury worth the investment.
