Is the cotton quality the same in 60X60 and 70X70?
Thank you.
60x60 is a measure of the thread count. It doesn't address the thread size (thickness of the individual threads). So you could have a 60x60 cloth with thicker or thinner threads; it's probably not the case that all 60x60s are created equal either.
But getting into thread size is probably way more technical information than the fabric companies are going to want to release... and my guess is that would be because they are sourcing the fabrics from different mills and there could be small variations in the fabrics; maybe not even enough that we would notice but that if they put ALL the specs out there in writing, they might open themselves up for trouble in the case of even the slightest differences.
