Homescapes Egyptian Cotton Oxford Pillowcase 1000 TC - Grey

A 1000 thread count indicates the number of threads woven into one square inch of fabric. Higher thread counts generally result in a denser, softer, and more durable fabric, contributing to a luxurious feel.

A Sateen weave is characterized by its smooth, lustrous surface achieved by exposing more warp threads on the face of the fabric. It provides a soft, silky feel and a slight sheen, offering a balance between comfort and elegance.

This specific product listing is for a single pillowcase. Other pack sizes or variations may be available.

Single ply yarn uses one continuous strand, which is generally stronger and results in a smoother fabric surface. Twisted yarns, often used in lower-cost linens, can be less durable and may feel rougher over time.

While not explicitly forbidden, excessive use of fabric softener can sometimes coat cotton fibres, potentially reducing breathability and softness over time. It's often best to use a mild detergent and rely on the quality of the cotton and the sateen weave for softness.

The pillowcase measures 48 x 74 cm, which is considered a standard size.

With proper care, including washing at 40°C, using mild detergents, and avoiding bleach, the dark grey colour is designed to remain vibrant. Some natural softening of the fabric will occur with washing.

Ensure you are using a mild detergent and avoid harsh chemicals or excessive heat during drying. Line drying can help maintain softness. Consider ironing while slightly damp with steam.

Avoid washing with bleach and excessive sunlight exposure during drying. Stick to washing at 40°C with mild detergents and similar colours.

Check if the pillowcase is being washed with abrasive items like denim or items with zippers. Always wash with similar fabrics and follow the recommended washing temperature.
