What it is?
Initially, you should pay attention to the very definition of the material. Three-thread fabric is a type of footer that contains bouffant on the seamy side. It is worth emphasizing that the footer is a knitted fabric that is created by weaving three threads. The densest version is called coulir, because a special knitted pattern is formed on the front side. Two more types of footer are presented - they have loops of lower and higher height on the seamy side. Three-thread in the classic version is presented in the form of cotton, although quite often you can find options that combine polyester and cotton.
Besides, three-strand may contain rayon instead of cotton. Usually this option is mixed with polyester. But all of the above solutions necessarily contain lycra (spandex) fibers, so the fabric is characterized by elasticity. On average, the density of a three-thread is in the range of 190-550 g / m². The density of the fabric directly affects the warmth. The higher it is, the warmer the product will be.
The material can be plain or printed, sometimes there are even children's drawings. Calm matte tones usually prevail.

The Turkish three-line has the following advantages:
- durability, wear resistance and strengthb - the threads retain their original appearance for a long time, they do not roll or stretch; products made of this material perfectly keep their original shape;
- excellent thermal insulation properties;
- hygroscopicity - the fabric perfectly absorbs moisture, thereby taking it away from the body;
- tenderness and softness - this material is characterized by comfort while wearing;
- fits for people who have tendency to manifestation of allergic reactions;
- excellent air permeability - the fabric "breathes" because both air and water vapor pass through it.
But the three-thread also has some disadvantages, namely:
- the material shrinks after a while;
- the fabric changes color under the sun's rays, that is, it tends to fade.

By fiber length
The length of the fibers is often used to classify the three-strand. In this case, several types of fabric can be distinguished.
- Three-thread velor. This knitted fabric is of excellent quality, of course, it is not cheap. Velor has a high density, it is characterized by wear resistance and durability. Since this fabric has some resemblance to velor, having the same soft, short and thick pile, that's why it got this name.

- Open-end... This option is the cheapest among other varieties. For its production, rather short fibers are used, which are formed on the front side of the villi. The disadvantage of fabric is that after a few washes, the pile can completely roll off. It is not recommended to purchase such cheap knitwear, since it includes a lot of synthetics, as well as the addition of low quality dyes.
In addition, the fleece of the fabric is either artificial or glued.

- Singing... This material has a fiber length of 35 mm or more. This material is characterized by a silky and smooth surface. It is very soft and fluffy. And on the inside there is a long-lasting pile.

- Ring and card. There are also such variants of three strands. Their main feature is the presence of rather long fibers. Their length starts from 27 mm. If we talk about quality and durability, then it should be noted that these solutions are better than open-end.

As a result, after the first wash, the product will lose its appearance, and if you wash it in the drum of the washing machine with other things, then they will be spoiled. It is very important to do a test wash by hand, you can take a small piece of the product. Thus, it will be possible to find out whether the fabric is shrinking or not.
