Percale

"Chinoiserie" (19th century). Four designs framed by plant forms in raspberry on an off-white percale.

Percale[1] is a closely woven plain-weave fabric often used for bed covers. Percale has a thread count of about 140 or higher and is noticeably tighter than twill or sateen. It has medium weight, is firm and smooth with no gloss, and washes very well. It is made from both carded and combed yarns, and may be woven of various fibers, such as cotton, polyester, or various blends.[2]
