Gingham Bedding and Curtains

Gingham is a plain-woven fabric made from dyed cotton or cotton-blend yarn. Many believe that the name for the fabric was derived from Italian, while others believe the term gingham is of Indonesian origin, whilst the actual term “gingham” is from the Malay language. Both the possible Indonesian and Italian roots are agreed that the term refers to stripes. When originally imported (in the 17th century), gingham was created by using two different coloured fibres to produce a striping effect. It was from the mid 18th century, when gingham was being produced in the mills of Manchester, that it had become woven into checked or plaid patterns (often blue and white).

As a fabric that has a long history of usage, gingham remains extremely popular today as it is smart and versatile, perfect for town or country. As a lightweight, durable and easy to clean fabric option, gingham is a great choice for bed linen as well as many other household linens. Gingham today is produced in cotton, synthetic fibre blends and even in man-made fibres. It is made of carded or combed, medium or fine yarns, where the colouring is on the warp yarns and always along the grain. Gingham has no right or wrong side regarding colour, woven in 200 thread count pure cotton it appears to have a flat luster. The bed linens are cool and crisp yet soft for luxurious comfort. You simply can't go wrong with these classic, versatile gingham linens.
