Egyptian Cotton Duvet Cover with Pillowcase - Homescapes Purple

A plain percale weave is a type of fabric construction where one warp yarn passes over and under each weft yarn in a simple, interlaced pattern. It is known for creating a crisp, cool, and smooth feel, which is characteristic of high-quality cotton bedding.

The product specifies a 200 yarn per square inch weave, which is equivalent to a 400 thread count made from twisted yarns. This means that while the yarn count is 200, the density and quality of the weave provide a similar feel and durability to a higher thread count using a different yarn structure.

The crisp, breathable nature of Egyptian cotton percale makes it particularly comfortable in warmer weather. In colder seasons, you may wish to layer it with additional blankets for extra warmth.

Single ply yarn is made of a single strand of spun fiber, often used in high-quality cotton for its smoothness and strength. Twisted yarns are made by twisting two or more single-ply yarns together, which can make them feel bulkier but sometimes less durable or smooth over time compared to high-quality single-ply.

The set for a single duvet cover includes one standard-sized pillowcase designed to complement the duvet cover.

Homescapes begins by hand-picking the purest cotton fibres, then combing and spinning the yarn to their specific requirements in fine spinning facilities. They carefully select weaving machines and dyeing processes to ensure the longevity and quality of the final product.

Yes, this duvet cover is part of a range developed by Homescapes and is designed to complement their other high-quality bed linen products. The plum colour is also available in other bedding items within their collection.

Ensure you are following the recommended washing and drying instructions. The fabric will soften over subsequent washes. Avoid using harsh detergents or fabric softeners which can degrade the cotton fibers.

Iron the duvet cover while it is still slightly damp. Remove from the dryer promptly and fold immediately. Consider using a lower heat setting for drying if it persists.

Wash the duvet cover inside out in cold water with mild detergent. Avoid direct sunlight exposure when drying, as UV rays can cause colours to fade over time.

While less common with high-quality single-ply yarn, pilling can occur with excessive friction. Ensure appropriate washing cycles (gentle) and avoid washing with items that have zippers or rough textures.
