What Does Percale mean?

The word “Percale” means a fine closely woven cotton cloth variously finished for clothing, sheeting, and industrial uses. Typically it is a single weave material, which means it has one thread over and one thread under. However, percale sheets are at least 180 thread count or higher. So though they are a single weave, they have a higher thread count than a plain weave sheet.
