What Is A Thread Count?
By Mark Flippo
Thread count is the number of vertical and horizontal threads per square inch. Not long ago, sheets typically had thread counts of 120 with 60 horizontal and 60 vertical threads. In the 1960’s, a sheet with a 180 thread count was considered a luxury. “Now you see 1,000 thread count sheets but you just can’t get that many threads on a loom,” says Pat Slaven, a textile expert at Consumer Reports. To get that higher number, manufacturers use thinner strands of fabric twisted together as if they were one. Then they double, triple or even quadruple the thread count to make the number more attractive to the consumer. “It ups the count but doesn’t give you a better sheet,” says Slaven. “The sweet spot is 400.”
What is enough for us? We are misled in so many ways today. It does not seem you can trust any manufacturer. Cars are being recalled at alarming rates. Baby products have had so many recalls. Food recalls. Is anything what they say it is?
Matthew 10:16-..... be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.
We have our Words from God about how to deal with people. If any one lacks Wisdom just ask of God.
