Thread count doesn't mean anything.
It's denier that counts.
For example a 100 thread count can literally be 100 threads of kevlar.
But the 100 threads of spidersilk is actually 1000 strands twisted into a thread that is 1/100 of an inch.
Or it could be 100 strands twisted into a thread....

"The denier system of measurement is used on two- and single-filament fibers. Some common calculations are as follows:[2]

1 denier = 1 g / 9000 m
= 0.11 mg/m
In practice, measuring 9000 meters is both time-consuming and unrealistic. Generally a sample of 900 meters is weighed, and the result is multiplied by ten to obtain the denier weight.

A fiber is generally considered a microfiber if it is one denier or less.
A one-denier polyester fiber has a diameter of about ten micrometers.
In tights and pantyhose, the linear density of yarn used in the manufacturing process determines the opacity of the article in the following categories of commerce: ultra sheer (below 10 denier), sheer (10 to 30 denier), semi-opaque (30 to 40 denier), opaque (40 to 70 denier) and thick opaque (70 denier or higher)."

The example here is typical. The panty hose all have the same thread count but the denier is different.
