Terms used on this page

Ringspun Cotton
Ringspun cotton is yarn spun by twisting cotton fibers into a smooth, tightly wound strand, giving fabric a softer hand and finer print surface than open-end cotton.
Singles (Yarn Count)
Singles is the yarn-count system where a higher number, like 30/1, means finer, thinner yarn, and a lower number, like 18/1, means thicker, coarser yarn.
Polyester
Polyester is a synthetic, petroleum-based fiber prized for durability, quick-dry performance, and colorfastness, but prone to dye migration under screen-print inks.
Heather Fabric
Heather fabric is knit or woven from a blend of dyed and undyed fiber, creating a mottled two-tone look that usually signals polyester content.
Preshrunk
Preshrunk means a garment was run through a shrink-control process at the mill, so most of the size change a first wash would cause happened before it shipped.
Canvas (Duck Cloth)
Canvas (duck cloth) is a heavy plain-weave cotton or cotton-blend fabric, typically 7-12 oz, used for totes, aprons, and workwear beyond t-shirts.
