What our bedding is made of
The most popular coarse calico bedding... So what is this fabric? Calico is a thick, 100% cotton plain weave fabric. Today it comes in several densities, made specifically to reduce the cost of production.
Let's consider three options for the density of coarse calico:
- The rarest and of course the cheapest is density 105-110 g / m 2, visually it can be distinguished for its transparent appearance, it is a little denser than gauze, it is not uncommon for the color of the blanket and pillows to be seen from under the bed linen, coarse calico with such density does not last long, no more than a year, during operation it sits down more than the rest of the representatives and loses its " marketable condition". Colors on fabrics with such a density are always simple, you will never see photo prints with 3D drawings, most of the colors are flowers, geometric figures or baby images.
- Medium quality coarse calico - with a density of 125 g / m 2., today this density is used by most of the popular (everyone has heard of "Vasilisa", "ArtPostel") and not popular manufacturers, this fabric looks like it also has gaps, but not so large and after several washings they are slightly tightened by the fibers of the fabric and the appearance becomes much more pleasant, bed linen made of such fabric lasts much longer, with systematic use from 2 to 3 years, depending on the care. On this fabric you can see chic colors, photo prints, 3D images, prints of licensed cartoons;
- And the best quality is considered density 145 g / m 2... - this is coarse calico, which has been manufactured for many years in accordance with GOST, and also lasts much longer than the two previous options. Many housewives recollect: “Here before there was coarse calico so coarse calico, but now ...”. They are talking about a fabric with a density of 145 g / m 2. good quality and costs much higher, the only manufacturer that uses GOST fabrics is "Shuiskie chintz", prices are not much higher, but such bed linen serves excellent quality for many years, with good care for more than 10 years. You can view the assortment of Shuya coarse calico by clicking on the link to our catalog of bed linen.
Linen bedding
Today you almost never meet, but there are manufacturers who produce this product. Sets made of this fabric are very durable, but there is also a small minus - the price, respectively, is also high, although it justifies itself 100%.

Hand Carved Rug A carpet on which the pile is sheared in specific areas after manufacture to create designs or highlight design elements with different heights of the pile. Hand Tie Rug A rug made by lacing or tying yarn through a warp fabric around the warp threads. Since it is created one node at a time, the design can be very complex. A hand-knotted carpet pattern can be seen in the back in rows of tiny knots. Hand knots are more durable than other rugs.
What can be said about satin
This is a wonderful fabric, it is woven by twisting the threads, which allows the fabric to hold the color and be very strong. Satin is very delicate and durable fabric, it looks like silk due to its shine and ebb, soft and delicate to the touch. To date, satin is produced from both 100% cotton and synthetic fibers; therefore, you can find satin bedding sets at very low prices. Be aware that this is a synthetic fiber and cotton fabrics have a higher price. As with coarse calico, some factories reduce the density of the fabric to about 130 g / m2. such a fabric is called "twill", its quality is high, but the service life is slightly lower due to the cheaper production technology, which leads to undesirable consequences, that is, the fabric shrinks slightly, which is not acceptable for satin made according to GOST, and after a year, and it happens before, the linen loses its color. The average service life of satin made in accordance with GOST with a density of 178 g / m2 is 7-12 years, depending on the use and care of the fabric. During this time, it does not lose its color, and if it does, then not significantly. Therefore, many housewives choose this fabric option.
Hand weaving machine Produced on hand knitting machines, which have a wide range of design possibilities and offer faster production than hand knitting. Hemp Strong and slightly shiny, it is natural fiber Derived from the bark of the hemp plant, it is ideal for making cords, twines, carpets and straw bags.

Family linen set
Spruce weaving. A weave that displays rows of diagonal parallel lines that alternate from one row to the next, resulting in a zig-zag effect. One of the most common twill weaves, it is popular for dresses, suits and jackets.
Poplin bedding sets
Satin is a little inferior in quality, however, the fabric is very soft and unpretentious in care, easy to iron and wash. Poplin contains 100% cotton. Today, poplin bed is very popular due to its performance properties and relatively low price, its density is not high, only 120 g / m2, but the weaving is quite dense, this is achieved due to a thin thread and makes the fabric strong and resistant to abrasion. Many do not yet know this fabric and are wary of it, but they acquire it a second time with great desire.
P.S. Today, there are many cheap fakes, if you do not like poplin or other fabric, just set fire to the thread and if it lights up with the release of black smoke, this is synthetics, another sign synthetic fiber after several washes, pellets and static electricity are generated.
Percale kits
It is very durable, the fabric is silky and delicate; earlier sails were made from it. Sails, parachutes and bedding are also made today. Percale contains 100% cotton. home distinctive feature lies in the fact that a non-twisted thread is used for its manufacture. In this case, in order to achieve high strength and a smooth surface, the threads are preliminarily sorted. Sizing is the application of a special adhesive (sizing) to the base fibers in a thin layer. Thus, bed sets from percale deserve your attention, they will serve you for many years.
