What is combed cotton?

Combed cotton is a type of cotton that undergoes an additional process called combing, which removes any short fibers and impurities from the cotton yarn. This process results in a smoother and stronger yarn that is less likely to pill or fray.

Combed cotton is known for its softness, durability, and ability to hold color well, making it a popular choice for high-quality textiles such as bed sheets, towels, and clothing. It is also less likely to shrink or wrinkle compared to regular cotton.

Due to the extra step of combing, combed cotton tends to be more expensive than regular cotton. However, many people prefer combed cotton for its superior quality and feel.
