Combed Cotton

Combed cotton is softer than regular cotton because it doesn't have any impurities or short protruding threads. It is stronger than regular cotton because the combing process removes short fibers, which are prone to breakage. After combing, the straightened fibers tightly join together leading to less fraying and unraveling. These benefits, plus the additional work required during the manufacturing process makes combed cotton more expensive and luxurious than regular cotton.
