Egyptian cotton is a high-grade cotton grown in the Nile River Valley, prized for its extra-long staple fibers. These long fibers allow mills to spin thinner, stronger yarns with fewer splices, resulting in a fabric that is highly durable, lustrous, and resistant to pilling. It is heavily favored for high-thread-count bed linens and luxury shirting.
