If cotton and silk threads are spun and woven in the same manner
No, cotton and silk threads are woven in different manners due to their unique properties. Cotton is typically woven into a plain weave fabric, which is a simple over-under pattern. Silk, on the other hand, can be woven into a variety of patterns and weaves such as satin, crepe, or chiffon due to its delicate and smooth texture.
Kevlar is sewn in the same manner as other fabrics. Kevlar is manufactured in the form of fine fibers and made into thread which is twisted into rope or woven into fabric.
They're both fibers that can be spun into yarn and woven into cloth.
The wool fibre is generally thinner and curlier than the cotton fibre, so for the same weight of material, a wool thread traps more air than a cotton thread. And for insulating purposes, you want to trap as much air as possible. With a denser thread, you have to use several or thicker layers to get the same result.
No. Microfiber thread count cannot be compared to the thread count in cotton. A 1500 thread count bed sheet of Microfiber might not be half as heavy in weight or thick enough as a 600 thread count cotton sheet, but it will be far softer than a cotton 600 count. It is similar to comparing apples and oranges. Microfiber has a thread count of it's own and tends to remain thinner, although it gets softer, with higher thread counts. Cotton on the other hand, tends to get thicker and heavier as the thread count goes higher, so a 1500 count sheet in cotton might weigh like a blanket.
There are many different opinions on which thread is ideal for quilting. A good rule of thumb is to choose a thread made of the same material as the fabric you are using. For example: I would choose cotton thread if I am using cotton fabric, but if I am using a synthetic fabric (like polyester) I would choose a synthetic thread-- like viscose rayon or polyester. It is best to use the same materials for your fabric and thread so that when washed and dried, everything shrinks evenly.
Bread and thread :)
Actually, we have all gotten too obsessed with thread count. If your thread count is too high the fabric won't breathe and will be very uncomfortable winter and summer. That being said, Egyptian cotton is generally recognized as being superior to any other, due to the length of the cotton fibers. So, yes, 1000 thread count Egyptian cotton is superior to 600 thread county pima or sateen--as is 600 thread count Egyptian cotton.
In an old valley in Pakistan, cotton was being grown, spun, and woven into cloth 3,000 years before Christ. About the same time, people in Egyptwere making and wearing cotton clothes. Arab merchants brought cotton cloth to Europe about 800 AD. When Columbusfirst discovered America in 1492, he found cotton growing in the Bahamas. By 1500, cotton was known generally throughout the world.
Cotton grows on a plant.answ2. Cotton is a plant with the seed head enclosed in a white fluffy cover. It is this fluffy material that is harvested, cleaned of seeds and rubbish, and eventually spun into a thread. In the same way as is done for wool etc.Cotton is a natural fibre.
They are both the same thread. They are both calling out a British Parallel Pipe thread. Please do not assume that this is the same as the standard North American pipe thread, as it is not close to the same.
