The section on Thread Count contains a quotation about standard industry practice and the Federal Trade Commission. The footnote properly attributes the quotation. But the reference is not very useful; it contains no additional information about the FTC warning. What would be more useful is a reference to the actual warning, or to more information about it.

    [edit] equation for Tex

    Does'cross area' mean the diameter? Is that generally understood by other people, I didn't hear of cross area before.

    [edit] Tex- what's normal?

    It would be helpful to the merely curious to have some ideas of approximately how much a kilometer of thread weighs- after all, it's not something most of us really think about. Sample numbers anyone? RSido 19:52, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

    [edit] Thread Count

    Interesting to note that 400 thread count is almost impossible to obtain in London, but is easily found in Australian department stores (e.g. the Sheridan brand).

    [edit] Thread count quote

    The section on Thread Count contains a quotation about standard industry practice and the Federal Trade Commission. The footnote properly attributes the quotation. But the reference is not very useful; it contains no additional information about the FTC warning. What would be more useful is a reference to the actual warning, or to more information about it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.31.248.239 (talk) 22:42, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
