Gorgi Madder Red White with Scarlet Ticking Stripe Cuffed Pillowcase

Why the name? Madder Red was was an ancient dyestuff, extracted from the root of the madder plant, growing in many countries around the world. The secret and devilishly complex Oriental dyeing process to obtain the lustrous colour known as Turkey Red was avidly sought by Europeans, from the time before the fall of Ancient Rome. It was finally cracked by the French about 1760, who were able to dye wool, silk and cotton to bright red.

Gorgi's 300 Thread Count 100% white cotton percale cuffed pillowcases feature our Madder Red Ticking Stripe as a cuff detail.
