Understanding different types of cotton:

OKAY, so many places sell T-Shirts that are “100% Cotton”, however, that doesn’t mean they are all same. In fact, the processes for creating regular cotton, ring-spun cotton, combed cotton, and fabric blends with cotton are quite different. So let’s figure out the specifics of each of these fabrics.

Regular Cotton

Regular cotton is made from soft vegetable fibres that are twisted together to make yarn, which is then woven to make the material. The regular cotton t-shirt is the industry standard. It’s less expensive to make, which means it’s a big seller.

Ring-Spun Cotton

The yarn for ring-spun cotton is made by twisting and thinning the cotton strands to make a very fine, strong, soft rope of cotton fibres. They’ve been through a spinning process that softens and straightens each fibre. Ring-spun cotton t-shirts are more durable and last longer than their regular counterparts, but will also be a bit more expensive, too.

Combed Cotton

Combed cotton has been combed to make the yarn stronger and softer. This combing process also rids the batch of shorter fibres and impurities, which results in a finer, stronger and more compact cotton. Combed cotton is considered higher-quality and softer than cotton that hasn’t been combed.

Ring-Spun Combed Cotton

It’s a step up in quality as it is even more refined. After the cotton fibres have been spun, they’re combed to remove any impurities or imperfect strands. This way, the knit that is produced is soft and extremely durable.
