Combed cotton is considered superior to basic carded cottons in that the short fibers are removed before spinning so as to leave a smoother thread. This results in a finer, more even fabric of high quality.
A cotton yarn that goes through an additional "combing," process so that only the longer fibers remain. This improves the softness and strength of the yarn.
Combing separates long, choice fibres from short ones. The comb straightens and arranges the fibres in a parallel form to create a finer, cleaner, more lustrous, stronger fabric.
Cotton fabric with a silk-like hand. Considered superior to basic carded cotton. Cotton Fleece Knit fabric with a pile face that, when cut and brushed, has a fleece-like surface.
Cotton fibers that have undergone an additional processing step beyond carding (the basic pre-spinning procedure that produces uniform, continuous strands of fiber). The combing process produces fibers that are more uniform in diameter, which make a more desirable and expensive yarn.
a cotton fabric with a silk-like finish.
Cotton that has been combed for the removal of short fibers and impurities. This results in compact, smooth yarns that, when woven, create a softer, smoother fabric that is less likely to pill.
Combing is a process to straighten fibers, extracting foreign matter, and short fibers; in order to produce a stronger, more even, smoother yarn. It knits better, has a softer hand, and accepts dyes better.
Combing removes shorter fibers leaving the longer, desirable fibers to create a stronger, smoother yarn.
Cotton which has been processed through a "comber" which removes short fibers and trash components to achieve higher uniformity and tenacity.
A cotton fabric with a silk-like feel. Superior to basic carded cotton, combed cotton garments are colorfast and do not fade or bleed.
Cotton in which a combing process removes the short fibers and any debris that may be with the fiber when it was in the field. This results in a cleaner, more uniform and lustrous yarn.
Yarn is combed at the spinning stage in order to draw out dead fibres.
Cotton fabric with a silk-like hand. Considered superior to basic carded cotton. View Example
Cotton yarn that has been combed to remove short fibers and straighten or arrange longer fibers in parallel order resulting in a smooth yarn used in finer garments.
Cotton in which the short, coarse cotton fibers have been eliminated to create a finer, silkier yarn.
A standard grade cotton which has gone through an extra manufacturing step called "combing", reduces the number of short, uneven fibers and leaving longer, stronger staples for weaving.
