100% Long Staple Egyptian Cotton is the Industry Standard for First Quality Egyptian Cotton Sheets and Bedding From Elegant Linens of Park City, Utah

Elegant Linens of Park City offers top quality Egyptian cotton bedding manufactured from only the finest long-staple Egyptian cotton. A high thread count is important but is not the only indication of superior quality in fine Egyptian cotton sheets. Long-staple cotton can be spun into a stronger, finer yarn making it possible to weave more threads per inch into the fabric. The resulting higher thread count fabric creates the soft hand and lustrous finish of the most luxurious Egyptian cotton linens.

(PRWEB) November 10, 2005 -- All cotton is not created equal! In order to determine the true worth of premier quality Egyptian cotton bedding, one must first understand the process that leads to the superior fabrics used in the manufacture of fine luxury linens. European makers of investment quality linens start by using the highest grade of Egyptian cotton available. This cotton is grown in a particularly fertile area of the Nile River in Egypt. Egyptian cotton is prized throughout the textile industry for its yield of the longest-staple cotton in the world. The staple refers to the individual cotton fiber, also known as the “hair”. The length of the staple allows the cotton to be spun into a smooth, strong and extremely fine yarn, which can then be woven into a very high thread count fabric. This high thread count fabric is a key factor in producing the finest quality Egyptian cotton sheets and luxury linens.

High thread count has become a catch phrase for describing the quality of the cotton fabrics used for bedding linens. Generally speaking, higher thread counts do result in a smoother, finer sheet. However, the thread count of a fabric is only a part of the story. The base fiber and the size and quality of the yarns are an equal, if not more important factor affecting the eventual quality of the fabric. The long fiber of Egyptian cotton can be twisted into threads with very few breaks, making a smooth, pill-resistant fabric. Short-fiber, less expensive cotton makes a weaker thread with many breaks that show up on the surface of the fabric, causing it to pill and wear out. Egyptian cotton sheets labeled as high thread count may actually consist of many inferior-grade short-staple cotton yarns jammed into a square inch. The fabric resulting from this type of base fiber will feel heavy and coarse and be subject to excessive pilling and wear.
