Mercerisation is a treatment that makes the cotton fibres shinier, stronger and more absorbent. The cotton also takes up the dye better, leading to more intense and even colours. Gassed means that the mercerised cotton yarn has been exposed very rapidly to a hot gas flame. This process removes any fuzz or excess lint on the thread resulting in a brighter and smoother appearance.
