Problem: Completely rewrite the following paragraph about the effect of thread count on the absorbency of a material, in the context of bloodstain pattern analysis: However, this explanation of increased porosity leading to increased absorption has been studied in relation to substances such as rock and soil (Nikita & Lokhande Ritesh, 2024; Zhao, 2021) and may not be applicable to the study of absorption of textiles. For this, thread count may be a better indicator. warp and weft densities, i.e. the number of warp yarns per linear inch running vertically, and the number of weft yarns per linear inch running horizontally, affect absorbency (James Dunlop textiles, 2025). Higher warp and weft densities generally reduce the fabric's absorbency because the tighter structure means a lower porosity and limits the space available for liquid to penetrate (Reich, 2017; Zupin et al., 2024; Du & Li, 2010; Karahan & Eren, 2006). thread count is the sum of the warp and weft threads per square inch of fabric (Wang et al., 2018; Cochran et al., 2015). As noted, fabrics with higher thread counts are less absorbent (Wang et al., 2018; Cochran et al., 2015), with a recent study finding that the water absorbency of 300 thread count fabrics is higher than 500 thread count fabrics (Raheja, 2021). This is because liquids will soak into a fabric more easily when there are more and bigger spaces between fibres (Wang et al., 2018; Cochran et al., 2015) Need Assignment Help?
