Finally, this superior weave, woven in the best authentic way is done using the best cotton in the world. Combed cotton, is not just cotton grown in Egypt - it is a particular type of long-staple cotton originally grown along the Nile. Combed cotton has the longest fibers. That is when you pull the cotton from the cotton plant, and remove the seeds and waxes, combed cotton has longer fibers available for spinning into yarn than other cottons. When intertwining strands of yarn to make a larger product, long-staple cotton has fewer connection points, and therefore a greater percentage of area is the natural softness of the cotton.
