Counting on Thread Count When Buying Linen?
When purchasing new linens, do you look for a high thread count as a measure of quality? Beware of linens with a "high thread count". Thread count is not really a measure of quality.
Where the cotton comes from and where it's put together that defines quality. For example, linen with a 600 thread count from China is equivalent to a 180-200 thread count from Italy.
Another tip: To preserve your fine linens use a mild baby detergent. Dreft works great and can be bought at your local food store.
