What Is The Yarn Count Density Of Hotel Linen And The Count Of Hotel Linen?

• 1. What is the yarn count?

Explanation 1: Let’s first talk about the count, which is what we often see: 30, 40, 60, etc.! For example, some friends call 30 pieces 30S, which is the same; there is no difference! So what exactly is the count? This is how I understand it: The count is the standard for the thickness of the yarn. For example, we can make one tale of cotton into 30 strands of 1-meter-long yarn, which is 30 strands; we can make one tale of cotton into 40 strands of 1-meter-long yarn, which is 40 strands; and we can make one tale of cotton into 60 strands. A 1-meter-long yarn has a count of 60. The higher the yarn count, the finer the yarn. The thinner the fabric with such yarn, the softer and more comfortable the fabric will be. However, cloth with a high count requires high-quality raw materials (cotton) and also requires higher requirements from yarn mills and textile weaving factories, so the cost of the cloth is relatively high.

 

 

Explanation 2: Yarn: The smaller the number, the thicker it is; the larger the number, the finer it is; fine-fine: 16S, 30S, 40S, 60S. Clothing uses 60–80S, and bedding uses 30–60S.

 

Explanation 3: The yarn count is the most basic unit that makes up the finished fabric. The 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, and the rare 80 according to its thickness. The most common bedding products on the market are 40-count.

 

There is also a more special kind of cloth that is mixed with different yarn counts. For example, some satin fabrics have 60 warp threads and 40 weft threads. For this kind of cloth, we can say it has 60 or 40 threads. In a piece, the fabrics are all woven with cotton yarns of the same thickness, which can be directly described as 30-count or 40-count.

 

 

Isn’t the higher the count, the better? Of course, thread count is a key indicator for evaluating the quality of bedding, but it is not absolute! The higher the yarn count, the finer the yarn. The thinner the fabric made with such yarn, the softer and more comfortable the fabric will be. For example, many bedding sellers say their fabrics have a 120-thread count. Buyers should beware. 80 thread count is very rare for bedding products, let alone 120 thread count because 120 thread count is very thin. Fabrics that are too thin may not be suitable for bedding at all. Beware of the seller being suspected of substituting the concept. Maybe he is talking about the warp and weft density rather than the count!

 

• 2. What is density?

Explanation 1: Let me talk about the density of cloth. This is data that everyone doesn’t pay much attention to, but it is the most important! In the industry, cloth does not talk about count. They only talk about **multiply** (for example, 110*90, 128*68, 65*78, 133*72), because there are very few choices for counting. There are 30S, 40S, and 60S, which have very few applications. We can say that 60S cloth is not suitable for bedding.

Because she is too thin! There are not many factories in China that can make 80-count cloth. Don’t think that 80-count cloth is expensive because it is small. I have never seen it; I have only heard about it, and as far as I know, it is unavailable in China. Not yet; 80-count bedding is out!

 

 

Explanation 2:

Warp and weft density: How many yarns are there in one inch (2.54 square centimeters) horizontally and vertically? Commonly used 30S yarns are 68*68, 30S yarns are 78*65, 40S yarns are 110*90, 40S yarns are 110*80, and 40S yarns are 90*90.

Combing: The total length of stems above 29mm is very uniform, smooth, and smooth.

Common combing: The stems are larger smaller and uneven (thin ones are thin, thick ones are thick).

 

Cotton fabrics:

Twill cotton density: 133*72, 40*40

Plain cotton: density is 76*68, 30*30, 100*90, 40*40

 

 

Explanation three:

Warp and weft density refers to the number of warp and weft yarns arranged per square inch, as commonly seen. 40×40/128×68? It means that the warp and weft yarns are 40, respectively, and the warp and weft density is 128×68. This is also an important technical indicator when purchasing bedding because the choice of fabric count is tiny—nothing more than 30, 40, or 60—so bedding The most important thing about the quality of bedding products with the same thread count is the density. The higher the density, the better! However, it is important to remember that high branch counts lead to high density. It would be ridiculous if there were only 20 branches that claimed to have high density.
