The composition of a fabric is the type of fibres used to make threads. The quality of these fibres determines the durability, softness, and appearance of the final fabric.
At Bassols, we only select threads made with long, combed, natural fibres.
Through the combing process, the long fibres are separated from the short fibres so threads can be made with the longest ones. The longer the fibres, the fewer ends the thread has, and, therefore, it will be softer and more resistant.
