PRODUCTS
The fabric is made up of fibers running in 2 directions at right angles to one another, these are known as the warp and weft. Warp runs lengthwise and weft runs across the width. By changing the weave pattern is possible to create different bed linen types.
Thread count is the number of threads woven vertically and horizontally into a 10cm square. Using finer threads means more per square centimeter making a soft and more luxurious fabric.
Percale is a plain closely woven fabric with a thread count of 225 or above. Percale can be used to describe both 100% cotton and polyester/cotton blends.
Sateen fabric is made with long strands of fibre. The fibre is woven in a specific long lateral pattern giving a soft smooth finish.
Polyester/Cotton blends make for an easy care product that also dries quickly. It ensures a soft feel and helps with crease resistance, shape retention and durability.
GSM is the measure of how many grams per square metre.
No other fibre can compare to the absorbency, softness, durability and ease of care of cotton. It is the quality of the cotton that makes the difference, the longer the staple fibre the better the thread.
