What Does 100/2 Mean in Textile Specifications?
The first number (100) denotes the yarn count—the higher the number, the finer the individual yarn. The second number (/2) indicates that two fine yarns were spun together (2-ply) before weaving.
Single-Ply vs Two-Ply (Double-Twisted)
Single-ply fabrics (50/1, 60/1) are lightweight and economical. Two-ply fabrics (80/2, 100/2, 120/2) provide vastly superior strength, richer surface luster, and dimensional stability.
