Thread Count 300, 400, 800, 1000? Consumers are being bombarded by thread count numbers that are truly bewildering. To understand thread count, you need to understand yarn size. You will often see yarn size discussed in mens shirting. 80s two ply pinpoint oxford is a good example. To make 80s yarn requires a very high quality of staple combed cotton. Much more so than making 60s or even 40s yarn. Let’s get back to thread count. 500 thread count is the point where diminishing marginal returns set in. Why is that? To weave 600 or 800 thread count sheet would require 100s or 120s yarn. This is very difficult and the resulting sheet probably costs thousands of dollars. Manufacturers and retailers will stretch the truth by selling 600 to 800 thread count sheets by using TWO PLY YARN. All that means is that two yarns are twisted together, woven to create the illusion of a higher thread count. Federal Trade Commission guidelines (not regulation) that thread count is single yarns, not plyed yarns. So a 600 thread count sheet may in all likelihood be a true 300 thread count-as it may have been woven using two-ply 60s yarn.A high thread count sounds good, but it means nothing if you are not getting correspondingly higher quality cotton. Even some 300 and 400 thread count sheet sets marketed today use two-ply yarn. All Southern Textiles sheet sets are made with 1 ply yarn.Satin Waterbed Sheets available in 5 colors - Black, Burgundy, Champagne, Hunter Green, Navy Blue, and Red. 4 sizes - Twin, Full, Queen, King.
