Meticulous Craftsmanship and Quality in Every Thread
The Magniberg fabrics have a personal signature where nothing is left to chance. They are developed together in close collaboration with carefully selected mills in Portugal and Italy to receive a top-of-the-line fabric with the perfect balance between yarns and thread-counts.
The range spans from fine Supima® cotton to natural linen and delicate lace. It's OEKO-TEX® certified (except from our two decorative styles Rose and Nude Metallic). There is a unique passion, a real passion, to offer the best possible product to get a good nights sleep and a distinguished touch on the bedroom. When you see our fabrics — they speak for themselves.
YARN, THREAD COUNT & GSM
When we talk about our cotton we often talk about thread count and yarn. Thread count is how many threads that are woven horizontal and vertical per square inch of fabric. The number referring to yarn is the number of threads laying flat per square inch and a method of measuring the quality of the material, basically how fine the yarn is.
A high thread count is often associated with high quality, but it's not always true, sometimes thread count is being multiplied by two or three when using 2-ply or 3-ply yarn. The only time you should value thread count as a quality stamp is for fabric made of 100% cotton in single-ply weaves – like the Magniberg Cotton.
Our linen and jersey sheets are given a rating based on their GSM (grams per square metre). Since it’s a lighter fabric we don’t want to be woven tightly, a high tread count doesn’t matter, if you weave our linen or jersey with a high thread count it would loose its characteristics and be stiff and uncomfortable.
The Magniberg linen is made of 100% European natural flax linen with a GSM of 125 – a lightweight, soft and durable fabric. Our Jersey fabric, an ultra-soft 160 GSM organic cotton jersey fabric remembering of a worn-out T-shirt.
There's no comparison to be made between GSM and thread count, it's different tools to measure different fabrics. GSM measures the weight of a fabric, while thread count is the number of single threads woven to make that fabric. Neither thread count or GSM tells the exact quality of the bedlinen, but it gives you an indication of the touch and feel. In the end the it’s the raw fibre and yarn quality makes the real differens.
