What makes Egyptian cotton so special?
Egyptian cotton has always been recognised as the finest cotton produced anywhere in the world. Grown in the rich fertile soil of the Nile delta with plenty of sunshine and moderate rainfall, it takes seven months for the cotton to grow; it is then harvested by hand. This slow growth ensures a strong long staple fibre and it is this that makes Egyptian cotton so special
Only the very best of the long staple cotton produced is selected by the spinners to produce the extra fine yarns needed to weave the high thread count fabric used by leading manufacturers of luxury bed linen. This fabric is known as Egyptian cotton percale and has a minimum thread count of 200 threads per square inch, but can be as high as 500 plus.
There is a lot of confusion caused to customers by thread counts and the meaning of percale. Fabric can be woven using a mixture of cotton and polyester; if it is then woven with a thread count of 180 threads per square inch it can be called percale. Likewise fabric woven with inferior cotton yarn which is crammed tightly together to create a high thread count can be described as percale but this produces a heavier courser cloth. Only the finest Egyptian cotton is used to weave the fabric for luxury bed linen manufacturers.
