Double Pressed Linen

[Okie Al]

This may be a stupid question, but why do I see some cues advertised with "double pressed linen"? What does that mean? Is there a "single pressed" method?

First pressing is often done with a roller type press. 2nd is often done with a friction press.

I've heard people say that a "single-pressed" linen wrap is pressed, yet you can still feel the individual threads of the wrap. A "double-pressed" linen wrap is pressed further until the wrap gives a smooth or finished-over shine/feel.
