- What Is Mercerised Cotton?
Mercerised cotton is a type of cotton yarn that has undergone a special treatment process. This process gives the yarn a lustrous appearance and makes it stronger and more durable. Mercerised cotton is also known as "pearl" or "etched" cotton.
The mercerisation process was invented in 1844 by John Mercer, who was trying to find a way to make cotton fabric less prone to shrinking. The process involves soaking the cotton yarn in an alkaline solution, which swells the fibers and makes them more resistant to stress. The result is a strong, lustrous yarn that is perfect for making garments and accessories.
- Benefits of Mercerised Cotton Yarn
First of all, the yarn has a beautiful sheen that will make your finished projects look really polished and professional. Additionally, mercerised cotton yarn is strong and durable, so it's perfect for making items that will get a lot of wear like tops. This "mercerisation" process gives cotton extra strength by fusing the fibers together. Mercerised cotton is, thus, stronger and more resistant to mold and mildew. Though still absorbent, it absorbs moisture more slowly, so it takes longer to become saturated (which is helpful when you're staring at a full sink of dishes!).
And finally, because it's made from natural fibers, mercerised cotton yarn is really breathable - perfect for making summer garments!
Why Egyptian Cotton?
The fibres in Egyptian cotton are longer than regular cotton, meaning there are fewer splices when the cotton is woven into yarn. This results in threads that are softer, smoother and more resistant to stress.
What's more, the extra long fibres mean Egyptian cotton is resistant to pilling and will actually become softer with each wash.
It might surprise you to know that all Egyptian Cotton™ is delicately hand picked. This process puts less stress on the fibre than using large machinery. It’s the only way to make sure that the cotton keeps its exquisite softness, and incomparable strength. We think that the extra time and effort is certainly worth it to ensure you receive a sumptuous cotton that you’ll love for years to come.
Egyptian Cotton™ has a plush softness that can only be rivalled by pure silk. That’s why Egyptian Cotton™ is the best in the world.
