Bedding is made of cloth, not yarn, so it is spinning first. Yarn count belongs to the category of "spinning". Yarn count is the Z basic unit of finished cloth, indicating the yarn that can be woven by a certain amount of cotton. The number (count), the higher the count, the higher the quality of the cotton, the thinner and softer the fabric;

    After the yarn is spun, the weaving is done, and the organization of the density and yarn count belongs to the category of "weaving". Density refers to the number of yarns in the vertical and horizontal directions (that is, the warp and weft direction, geographically, the warp is in the north-south direction, and the weft is in the east-west direction) in a certain area. The Z important indicator, the same yarn count, the higher the density, the denser the cloth and the heavier the weight!

   The organization of yarn count is divided into three types: plain weave, twill weave and satin weave, and the grades increase in turn. After weaving the fabric, it is necessary to make beautiful patterns on it. There are several production processes for the patterns on the fabric: printing, embroidery and jacquard, and the grades increase in turn. Among them, jacquard is produced in the process of "weaving". .

1. What is the yarn count?

Explanation 1: Let's talk about the count first, that is, what we often see are 30, 40, 60, etc.! For example, 30 sticks are also called 30S by friends, that is the same, there is no difference! So what exactly is a count? Count is the standard for the thickness of yarn. For example, one tael of cotton can be made into 30 yarns of 1 meter, that is 30 yarns, and one tael of cotton can be made into 40 yarns of 1 meter long, that is 40 yarns; 1 tael of cotton can be made into 60 yarns The yarn with a length of 1 meter is 60 counts. In fact, the higher the yarn count, the finer the yarn. The thinner the fabric is woven with such yarn, the softer and more comfortable the fabric is. However, high-count cloth requires high quality of raw materials (cotton), and also requires relatively high requirements for spinning mills and weaving mills, so the cost of cloth is relatively high.

Explanation 2: Yarn (Editor's Note: here refers to the count mentioned above): the smaller the number, the thicker the number, the larger the number, the finer, fine-fine: 16S, 30S, 40S, 60S. Clothing generally uses 60-80S, and bedding uses 30S-60S.

Explanation 3: Yarn count is the Z basic unit of finished fabric. The number of yarn count is inversely proportional to its thickness. The larger the number, the finer it is, and the corresponding quality requirements for the raw material (cotton) are also higher. The yarn count of bedding cloth is generally divided into 21, 30, 40, 60 according to its thickness, and there are also 80 which are relatively rare. The common bedding in the market is mostly 40 pieces. There is also a special kind of cloth that is mixed with different yarn counts. For example, some sateen fabrics have 60 warp threads and 40 weft threads. For this kind of cloth, it can be said to be 60 threads or 40 threads. The fabrics are all woven with the same thickness of cotton yarn, which can be directly described as 30 or 40.

       

       Is the higher the count, the better? Of course, the count is a key indicator for evaluating the quality of bedding, but it is not absolute! In fact, the higher the yarn count, the finer the yarn, and the thinner the fabric is woven with such yarn, the softer and more comfortable the fabric is. For example, many bedding sellers say that their fabrics are 120, and buyers should be careful. For bedding, 80 is very rare, let alone 120, because 120 is very thin. Fabrics that are too thin may not be suitable for bedding at all. At this time, we must beware of the seller's suspicion of stealing the concept of replacement. Maybe he is talking about the warp and weft density instead of the count!
