What is cotton weight?

Cotton weight typically refers to the density or thickness of cotton fabric, often measured in grams per square meter (GSM) or ounces per square yard. It indicates the heaviness and durability of the fabric, which can affect its drape, feel, and suitability for different applications, such as clothing, bedding, or upholstery. Heavier cotton fabrics are generally more robust and suitable for items like jeans or jackets, while lighter weights are often used for shirts or summer dresses.
