What is the Origin of Percale Bedsheets?<\/h2>\n

Percale is derived from the Persian word pargalah, which means \u2018rag\u2019 or \u2018cloth\u2019 . Already by the 18th century, the fabric had \u2018percolated\u2019 into European homes, and eventually also the rest of the world. It is today a term that refers to a certain weave, but creates smooth, crisp sheets unlike any other. Percale is characterized by its little yarn density, which is what makes it so light and breathable, which is what many people look for in their sheets.<\/p>\n
