Thread Count
Most home textile products have a thread count listed.
Typically the higher the number, the better the quality of fabric.
For instance, a 180 thread count sheet is of good quality, but a 300
thread count sheet has a much better feel.
Thread count is determined by how many threads are in
one square inch of fabric. In the 180 count sheets, one square
inch of fabric would have 100 threads going in one direction, with 80
threads going in the opposite direction. Add the 100 with
the 80 and that equals the 180 thread count.
