A traditional one-yarn-over and one-yarn-under weave, Percale typically features a matte finish and a crisp, cool feel that improves with every wash. Its superior durability means it won't pill over time.

Do percale sheets wrinkle easily?

Percale sheets can typically be machine washed and dried. However, they're prone to wrinkling, so owners may prefer to iron them for maximum crispness.

What causes pilling on sheets?

Pilling is a result of friction; when the fabric is rubbed the fibers can break. For example, pilling can often be seen on fitted sheets near the foot of the bed where frequent abrasive movement (from rough feet) can occur. Even the stubble from shaved body hair, backs and legs can be abrasive enough to cause pilling.
