Cotton is a plant that loves warmer weather and it takes several months for it to produce the fluffy cotton balls that we all know. After the plants are harvested, they are defoliated and send to the cotton gin. There, the cotton fibers are combed — this is done for cleaning and fiber straightening purposes — and then spun into yarn.

 For those who are looking for a twin-sized microfiber sheet set, it is important to consider the thread count.  Yarn count refers to the number of yarns woven into one square inch of fabric.  Traditional cotton sheets are often judged by their thread count, while microfiber sheets are measured by the weight of the fabric.  The  Microfiber sheets heavier the weight, the denser and more durable the board.
