Percale - Percale is a tightly woven, plain weave fabric that consists of one horizontal yarn over, one vertical yarn under. Percale fabric has a matte appearance and is generally made from Egyptian cotton or high quality combed cotton. Combing is a process that removes any short, inferior quality fibers from the yarn, to produce a smooth yarn, suitable for a percale weave. Percale has a thread count of 200 or higher and its tight weave produces a smooth, crisp cotton fabric, of a medium weight. Percale is perfect for bed linen as it is luxurious and smooth to sleep under and washes and wears extremely well. It can be finished in a number of ways.
