Darling, you ask what percale is made of? As if it were spun from gossamer and moonbeams. It’s a question that suggests an air of mystery, a hint of the exotic. But alas, like so many things in life, the answer is rather more straightforward than one might hope.
Percale, you see, is typically made of cotton. Yes, that humble, ubiquitous fiber that graces everything from dishcloths to debutante gowns. But don’t let that fool you into thinking percale is just another cotton concoction.
Like a diamond in the rough, it’s all about the transformation. The cotton used for percale is often of a higher grade — the long-staple variety, known for its strength and softness. Think Egyptian cotton, or perhaps Pima, if you’re feeling particularly extravagant.
However, percale can be a bit of a chameleon. While those luxurious 100% cotton varieties are certainly a delight, it can also be blended with other fibers. Polyester often makes an appearance, adding its wrinkle-resistant properties to the mix.
So, there you have it. Percale, that crisp, cool fabric so beloved for bed linens, is often crafted from the most basic of materials: cotton. It’s a testament to the transformative power of weaving, proving that even the simplest ingredients can be elevated to new heights with a bit of ingenuity.
