What is thread count? Thread count is the vertical threads and horizontal thread which are woven together in a one-inch square of fabric. It also includes one or two-ply yarns which can be single thread or two threads coiled together or multiple yarns. The thread count is one quality indicator to consider when you are shopping for bed linens. A bed linen with higher thread count is finer and has a smoother weave that makes it durable and long-lasting.
