Percale is the name of a very simple weave that's frequently used in bed linen. It’s a type of tightly woven plain weave - with the weft (horizontal thread) alternately passing over and under the warp (vertical thread). Percale refers specifically to a plain weave fabric with a thread count of 180 or over. It's a favourite for people who like the feeling of fresh, cool, crisp bed sheets.
Percale fabric can be woven with pure cotton or with a blend of cotton and polyester.
