1. | Why Egyptian cotton? |
| Egyptian cotton is considered the best quality and longest staple cotton in the world. Using the best quality cotton results in a stronger fabric with a smooth hand.

2. | What is thread count? |
| Thread count is the measure of how many threads, warp and weft, are woven into one square inch of fabric. |
3. | Does a higher thread count mean a more luxurious sheet? |
| Thread count is one consideration in the quality of linens; however, more important is the quality of the cotton, the hand or feel of the fabric, and quality of the finishing. |
4. | What factors should be considered in determining the quality of linens? |
| Although higher thread counts are thought to mean a higher quality fabric, many factors attribute to the quality of fine linens. The first consideration is the quality of the yarn used. Egyptian cotton is considered the finest cotton in the world. It has the longest staple and strongest fibers. Used in high-end linens and towels, Egyptian cotton means luxury. Don’t be fooled by products that are Egyptian cotton blends, 100% Egyptian cotton gives for the best quality. The next factor is the construction of the fabric. The yarn size and weaves used, in addition to the thread count are all carefully planned in the construction to produce the desired quality of fabric. The finishing of the fabric is the final consideration. After the fabrics are woven the finishing process can give the fabric added luster and a smoother hand. The specifics of how we accomplish these steps to create our fine linens are trade secrets. |
