You’ve seen the tag. You’ve felt the fabric. Maybe you’ve even bragged about owning a “ringspun” tee. But what does that actually mean, and why should you care?
Whether you're launching a merch line for your church youth group, outfitting your school's spirit wear, or simply seeking the softest tee for your next event, understanding the difference between ringspun cotton and regular cotton can make all the difference. Let's unravel the threads.
Ringspun cotton refers to a specific spinning process where cotton fibers are continuously twisted and thinned, producing a finer, stronger, and softer yarn. This method results in a fabric that's smoother and more durable compared to standard cotton.
While both fabrics originate from cotton fibers, the distinction lies in the spinning process:
Regular Cotton: Typically made using an open-end spinning method, resulting in a coarser yarn with a rougher texture.
Ringspun Cotton: Undergoes a more refined spinning process, yielding a softer and stronger yarn.
Softness: The refined spinning process results in a smoother yarn, offering a luxurious feel against the skin.
Durability: Ringspun cotton's tighter weave enhances its strength, making garments more resistant to wear and tear.
Printability: The smooth surface of ringspun cotton provides an excellent canvas for screen printing and other customization methods.
To maintain the quality and longevity of your ringspun cotton garments:
Washing: Machine wash in cold or lukewarm water using a gentle cycle and mild detergent.
Drying: Air dry or use a low-heat setting in the dryer. Avoid over-drying to prevent shrinkage.
Ironing: If needed, iron at low to medium heat to protect the delicate fabric.
Storage: Store clean and dry garments in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
