Abstract: A percale sheeting fabric of polyester and cellulosic fiber construction which more effectively utilizes the beneficial properties of the cellulosic fiber as compared to conventional polyester and cotton blend sheeting fabric constructions so as to provide a greatly increased moisture absorbency rate for enhanced comfort, and with enhanced cover, bulk and opacity. The fabric is formed of warp and filling yarns of corespun construction having a yarn count of about 34/1 to 37/1 cotton count, with the yarns being interwoven to form a woven fabric construction of at least about 180 threads per square inch. Each of the corespun warp and filling yarns has a core portion formed of multifilament polyester of a total denier of about 45 to 50, and a sheath portion formed of cellulosic fibers helically wrapped about the multifilament core portion to substantially surround and encase the same.
