Thread count is the number of threads in a square inch of fabric. It's only one part of quality.
Good to know
- Quality fiber and weave matter more than a huge number
- Many good cotton sheets fall roughly between 200 and 600
- Very high counts can be made with thin, twisted threads
- Linen and flannel are judged by weight, not thread count
- Touch and fabric content tell you more
