@kamiten spoonflower lists theirs but you have to dig a bit for it — their mask patterns have suggested fabrics with the counts on page one https://spoonflower-downloads.s3.amazonaws.com/Face+Mask+Instructions.pdf

@kamiten (probably you can use this as a rough guide to other cotton fabrics, if not an exact one)

@casta I appreciate it! Your link is the first I've seen of that kind of info. <3

@kamiten no problem! Glad to pool knowledge. Looks like there’s only so high a thread count you want before breathing becomes an issue, which is augh and probably individual

@casta Grea,t now I'm thinking about sneaking into a Bed Bath and Beyond to huff on various thread count bedding to make sure I can breath lol~

I think it should be fine though? I read one article that recommended 600-count pillowcases for masks, which sounds unobtainable outside expensive bedding anyway.

@kamiten oh geez, that seems excessive. IDK what shops you have available to you, but if you have access to a regional job lot chain you might be able to get your hands on that grade of cotton for less than usual. If you use a filter pocket you probably don’t need to go hardcore like that

some folks are like “use flannel!!” and I’m all “SUMMER IS COMING”
