It may be constructed by counting the number of picks in the weft – a pick is just extra threads inserted into the weft. It may be constructed by counting the number of warp threads and the number of welt threads. How the thread count is determined is called the construction. Higher thread counts are less likely to pill or fuzz. ![]() If you hold a lower thread count fabric up to the light, you can see through it easier than a higher thread count. ![]() For comparison purposes, muslin fabric has a thread count of about 150 making it feel a bit rougher. Sheets with a thread count of 250-300 will feel silkier and when you get to the 300-400 thread count, you will have the premium or luxurious sheets. Anything above that would be considered better quality. They may be using multiple ply threads thus counting each thread as more than one.Ī thread count of 180-200 is considered a good quality sheet. It’s impossible to fit that many threads into a square inch. So when manufacturers come up with thread counts of 800 or 1200, they are using creative ways to come up with those numbers. The maximum number of threads that you can weave into a square inch is 500-600. Thread Count is basically the number of threads woven together in a square inch of fabric including the vertical (warp) threads and the horizontal (weft) threads. ![]() Thread count is just one of the factors used to determine the best sheets for your kids.
