At J&O most of our extensive selection of fabrics is comprised of cotton textiles. You may have noticed that a number of these are specifically pima cotton fabrics. So the question is: what is pima cotton?
Pima cotton is also known as Sea Island, Egyptian and Extra Long Staple and is produced by the pima cotton plant (Gossypium barbadense). Pima cotton gets its name from the Pima Indians who helped raise the cotton on USDA farms in the American Southwest in the early 1900s. Pima cotton is particularly appreciated for its resilience and durability. Some manufacturers of pima cotton goods even claim that their goods last up to 50% longer.
A great many of our pima cotton fabrics are produced by the renowned novelty mill Robert Kaufman. Their pima cotton fabrics are ideal for lighter weight applications and come in a variety of styles including stars, stripes and flowers. Here is a sample of Robert Kaufman’s pima dress fabrics.
Large Pima Dots Fabric: White on Hot Pink
Pima 1/4" Stripes: Orange
Pima Fashion Stripes Fabric: Pink
Pima Flowers: Sunshine
Pima Serene Dots Fabric: Aqua
Pima Stars: Red on Navy

Hello, just doing some research for my site. Truly more information that you can imagine on the web. Wasn’t what I was looking for, but good site. Cya later.
Greetings Sakshi. Thank you for your interest and inquiry. Unfortunately, since we do not sell manufactured sheets ourselves, the best suggestion would be to do a Google search. There are several online companies that manufacture Egyptian cotton sheets.
