أرقام الخيوط


Explanation:
تستخدم في النسيج بأرقام محددة للإشارة إلى سمك الخيط وليس عدده كما قد يوحي النص
ولكن يمكن ملاحظة أن عدد الخيوط المشار إليه في النص يتوقف على سمك الخيط

آقمشة ذات كثافة متعددة


Explanation:
ُThe idea behind "thread count" is density; since the term itself doesn't translate well, you might as well render the concept.
