Egyptian cotton

Term · Industrial and trades · MLC-T-IND-001983

A premium variety of cotton known for its extra-long staple fibers, which produce exceptionally fine, strong, and soft yarns. Grown in the Nile River Valley, its fibers are longer and more uniform than most other cotton types. This results in luxurious fabrics with a high thread count, often used for bedding and high-end apparel.
