Cotton Flame Retardant Fabric

Yarn count:

Yarn Count of cotton flame retardant fabric means how many 840 yards in this certain length yarn which was spun by 1 pound of cotton fiber.If the length of yarn spun by 1 pound of cotton is 8400yards,the yarn count will be 10.We call 40 yarn counts above high count.The higher the count is,the finer the yarn will be,which means the fabric will be thinner.

We usually write with “s” behind yarn count such as 21s.We often see “40s/2”,“40s”means counts of yarn,“2”means number of strands.“40s/2”means the sewing thread is entwisted by 2 strands of 40 yarn counts.

Density:
