A premium quality thread
The quality of the thread is decisive in the rendering of the fabric and its result. In addition to the length and fineness of the thread, the density of thread per square centimeter and the method of weaving are evaluation criteria to be taken into account when judging the quality of a fabric.

- more supple,
- better held,
