What Are The Advantages And Disadvantages Of High-count Fabrics?

The fabric is woven from yarns. The yarns are thick and thin, and the count is the unit of yarn thickness.

Common yarn count specifications are: 10s, 16s, 21s, 32s, 40s, 50s, 60s, 80s, 100s, and 120s. The most used are the four specifications of 16s, 21s, 32s and 40s, and more than 60s are high-grade yarns.

The higher the count, the finer the yarn and the thinner the fabric. The fabric made of high-count yarn is skin-friendly, soft and smooth, and has good gloss. However, if the count is high, the fabric will be thinner, and the warmth retention will definitely decrease. Moreover, the strength and wear resistance are also reduced when the yarn is thin, so the most important thing is to look at the use of the fabric, the different uses correspond to different counts, please do not over pursue high-count fabrics.
