/kloc-What's the difference between 0/00 cotton and 80 cotton? 80 cotton or 100 cotton?

When people buy clothes and bedding, they will see different counts. As far as cotton is concerned, it can also be divided into coarse cotton, fine cotton and long-staple cotton, but only long-staple cotton can weave high-count fabrics. What is the difference between 100 cotton and 80 cotton under the same material conditions? 80 cotton or 100 cotton? Let's take a look together.

High numbers often require higher materials and technology. Also called the number? Yarn count? , refers to the thickness of yarn, expressed in English unit s, such as 80S, also called 80 count. The higher the count, the thinner the yarn and the thinner the fabric. The number of yarns is related to the length of cotton fibers.

Low count, the fabric can only be thick, but it can keep warm. 100 pure cotton fiber is thicker than 80 pure cotton fiber. The higher count represents the thickness of cotton yarn. The higher the count, the finer the yarn, the greasy and smooth the woven fabric, and the better the luster. Just like spinning one or two cotton yarns into 80-meter-long cotton yarns, such yarns are called 80-count yarns (80S), so the higher the count, the thinner the yarn will be, and many strands will be woven together when spinning, so the higher the count, the thicker the fabric will be.

Generally speaking, more than 60 pieces are relatively high, 80 pieces are more suitable for home use, and more than 100 pieces are used for bedding in high-end hotels. But it doesn't mean that the higher the number, the better. It depends on whether it fits.
