The thread count (TC) indicated the fineness of fabric. The higher the thread count, the more soft and silky the fabrics will feel.
In other words, the higher the thread count, the tighter the weave. The tighter the weave, the flatter and smoother the fabric - it will feel silkier. A tighter weave also means there's less chance of the fabric going threadbare or pilling. In short: the higher the thread count, the softer and more durable the sheet will be.
