What are the '2/80' or '2/100' notations that you see on Min Gyi Kyaik longyi?
------------------
In Myanmar, often times, it is mistaken that Myanmar longyi (sarongs) woven with 2/80 or 2/100 cotton construction means that the fabric used is either 80 or 100 years old. This is because the words, 'two' and 'year', in Burmese are pronounced exactly the same as 'hnit'. When saying these notations, 2/80 and 2/100, in Burmese, it can be incorrectly interpreted as '80 years' or '100 years'.
The actual meaning of 2/80s, 2/100s, and the difference between the two are as follows.
The number '2' in front indicates the ply. Ply is how many yarns are twisted together to make a single thread. Fabrics can either be two-ply or single ply. Two-ply means that two yarns are twisted together to make a single thread that is then woven into the fabric.
80s and 100s represent the yarn size. 80s means that there are 80 hanks of yarn in one pound. One hank equals to 840 yards. Therefore, it has (80 x 840) 67,200 yards. Using this equation, it can be calculated that yarns of size 40s have 33,600 yards and those of 100s have 84,000 yards.
Simply said, 100s have a higher thread count than 80s and 80s have a higher thread count than 40s.
If the Myanmar longyi fabric's construction is described as '2/100', it means that it has 100s two-ply threads running in both warp and weft directions. (Warp threads run vertically and weft threads run horizontally).

The number '2' in front indicates the ply. Ply is how many yarns are twisted together to make a single thread. Fabrics can either be two-ply or single ply. Two-ply means that two yarns are twisted together to make a single thread that is then woven into the fabric.
80s and 100s represent the yarn size. 80s means that there are 80 hanks of yarn in one pound. One hank equals to 840 yards. Therefore, it has (80 x 840) 67,200 yards. Using this equation, it can be calculated that yarns of size 40s have 33,600 yards and those of 100s have 84,000 yards.
Simply said, 100s have a higher thread count than 80s and 80s have a higher thread count than 40s.
If the Myanmar longyi fabric's construction is described as '2/100', it means that it has 100s two-ply threads running in both warp and weft directions. (Warp threads run vertically and weft threads run horizontally).
All Min Gyi Kyaik longyi's are woven with 2/80 or 2/100 pure cotton constructions. Therefore, it is with guarantee that when you are buying a Min Gyi Kyaik longyi, you are buying one of the highest quality sarongs.

Thread Count If everything else is the same (weave, ply, mill, and type of cotton), higher thread count means a smoother, silkier, more expensive fabric. Thread count is often referred to with a number like 50s, 80s, 100s, 120s, 140s ⌠Continue reading â
