When shopping for luxurious bedsheets, 'thread count' often steals the spotlight. But savvy sleepers know there's a deeper story to tell. The true measure of bedding luxury lies not just in the quantity of threads, but in their quality – their fineness, strength, and smoothness. This is where yarn count comes into play.
At Oranique, we're committed to transparency, guiding you beyond the typical marketing jargon. That's why our percale bedsheets are crafted with long-staple, GOTS-certified organic cotton using a high yarn count of 80 x 100 and a true 400 thread count—crafted not just for numbers, but for real, lasting comfort.
Let’s unravel what yarn count means and why it’s just as important—if not more—than thread count alone.
🧶 What is Yarn Count?
Yarn count essentially tells you how fine or thick the individual threads are that make up the fabric. Think of it this way: higher yarn count means more delicate threads can be woven more tightly, leading to a smoother, more breathable, and more refined fabric—without the need to artificially inflate thread count using multi-ply threads.
🌬️ Why High Yarn Count Matters
-
Smoother Fabric Surface
Finer yarns allow for a tighter, more uniform weave, resulting in a remarkably smoother hand feel – the kind of crisp, cool touch that defines true bedding luxury.
-
Lightweight Yet Durable
High yarn count doesn’t mean heavy or bulky. In fact, because we use single-ply fine threads, our sheets remain light, airy, and breathable—ideal for hot sleepers—yet they remain incredibly durable.
-
Authentic Thread Count
Some manufacturers use 2- or 3-ply yarns to artificially boost thread count without improving fabric quality. At Oranique, we don’t play that game. Our 400 thread count is achieved using high-quality, single-ply yarns—for real comfort, not just impressive numbers.
🛏️ Oranique's 80 x 100 Yarn Count: The Goldilocks Formula
Our commitment to exceptional quality is woven into every detail, including our precise yarn count. With 80 yarns in the warp (vertical) and 100 yarns in the weft (horizontal), we've achieved a 'Goldilocks' balance that elevates:
- 📏 Structural integrity – your sheets won’t stretch out or wear thin
- 🌬️ Airflow – the fine yarns create micro gaps that let your skin breathe
- 💆 Comfort – the high yarn density gives that sought-after hotel crispness
🌱 Luxury That’s Honest, Not Hyped
We combine high yarn count with long-staple organic cotton, which means fewer loose fibers, less pilling, and a smoother feel that gets softer with every wash.
No shortcuts. No synthetic finishes. Just naturally luxurious bedding, ethically made and built to last.
