THE HISTORY OF PETER REEd limited ('PRl')
Peter Reed bedlinen has been manufactured in Lancashire since
1861 and has been traditionally associated with English excellence
and luxury.
In January 2004, PRL set up a new mill in Nelson near Burnley,
one of the few mills to have been established in Britain in
over a century. Employing the traditional Lancastrian skills
used for many years PRL has re-established the Peter Reed brand
and is producing Egyptian cotton bedlinen to the traditional
luxury standards set so many years ago.
EGYPTIAN COTTON
The cotton used in the manufacture of Peter Reed bed linen
is grown in the Nile Delta region of Egypt. This area produces
a unique and lustrous growth of cotton, considered to be amongst
the world’s best fibres. Egyptian cotton is ideal for use in bed linen because it ‘breathes’,
is free from static which attracts dust, and thrives upon frequent
washing and use.
LONG STAPLE LENGTH
Cotton grown in the warm climate and rich soil of the Nile delta is renowned for producing a long staple fibre, which allows the spinning of exceptionally fine yarns. These fine yarns produce extremely soft, yet durable sheeting cloth.
COMBED COTTON
Peter Reed percale bed linen is made entirely from specially selected, highest quality combed yarns. Prior to spinning, any shorter cotton fibres are removed during the combing process. This ensures that the yarns are spun from only the longest fibres present in the cotton harvest, enhancing the softness of the finished product.
