Both cotton yarn and pure cotton are materials related to cotton, but they are different in nature and use.
Cotton yarn refers to a thread-like object made of cotton through spinning. It is soft, moisture-absorbent, breathable, and wear-resistant, and is often used to make textiles, such as cloth, towels, socks, etc. Cotton yarn can be divided into different levels according to different linear density, such as 20-count, 40-count, 60-count, etc. The higher the linear density, the finer the cotton yarn.
Pure cotton means that the raw material of textiles is 100% cotton fiber. Pure cotton is natural, comfortable, and breathable, so it is widely used in making clothing, bedding, and home decorations. Compared with other synthetic fibers, pure cotton is more skin-friendly and suitable for people with sensitive skin.
From a usage perspective, cotton yarn is mainly used for the production of handicrafts such as hand weaving and embroidery, and can also be used for the production of woven products. Pure cotton is suitable for making clothing and household items because it is soft and comfortable, moisture-absorbent, breathable, and skin-friendly.
In general, cotton yarn and pure cotton have their own advantages in different occasions and uses. If you need to make crafts or special textiles, cotton yarn may be more suitable. And if you are pursuing a comfortable wearing experience, pure cotton is a good choice. The final choice should be based on personal needs and preferences.
