For example, the bag will say 100 Jumbo sized cotton balls, or 300 cotton balls, but a net weight of cotton is never listed. Why?
Almost every other product on the market is sold by weight, so I was wondering why cotton is exempt from this rule. For example, a bag of 100 Jumbo sized cotton balls from one manufacturer could weigh far more, or less, than the same product produced by another manufacturer. Why is cotton exempt from weight standards?

It would be too hard to be accurate with the weight. Besides, you use cotton by the ball, not by the pound, so you need to know how many balls are in a bag. Suppose you had a project that needed 150 balls of cotton, you'd need to know how many were in a bag in order to know how many bags to buy.

This is for personel use and not as a business. I love the look of cotton plants and would like to utlize them. I have learned to make dish clothes from cotton thread, so therefore would like to spin cotton.

After harvesting the cotton boles are de seeded (seeds are edible), the resulting fiber mass is combed then using a spindle it is spun into thread. Here is a link:

I am planning to upgrade the bedding in my entire house and decided to go for the best this time. Is Egyptian cotton the best and softest of all? I am going for separate sheets, covers, comfortors etc., as opposed to "bed-in-a-bag with pretty designs" which I had previously, so that I can select higher threadcounts...what threadcounts are considered the best in Egyptian cotton?

Lastly what are some good places to get these from?

(Only soft bedding enthusiasts answer!)

Anything over 350 or 400 thread count is great but the higher you can go the better. Be aware that they will come out of the dryer looking like they need to be ironed and I do iron my pillow cases and the top of the top sheet that shows. These days sheets of this level can be purchased in a lot of places but you can get your best deals at Linens N Things and Bed Bath and Beyond especially with their ongoing 20% off coupons. The bed in a bag sheets are usually only 250 so you are right to not want to use them. If I like the comforters and shams in them, I give the sheets to Goodwill. My highest thread count right now is 1000 and it is perfect. Be sure to wash these sheets on a cold water setting and dry them on a delicate setting. They can shrink if you don't
