Damask Fabric was invented in Damascus, the city from which its name is derived. Damask uses one of the fine basic weaving techniques of Byzantine and Islamic times from the early Middle Ages. Many other countries make (weave) Damask. The weave of the fabric is what makes Damask fabric so special. Other fabrics are woven in an up/down or vertical/horizontal manner. Damask is interwoven with severa
l layers, which gives the fabric its insulating properties. Being 100% cotton and the weave of Damask being interwoven, it allows the fabric to breathe. This means it is warm in winter and cool in summer. If one person runs hot and the other cold, the hot cools down and the cold stays warm. This makes for a better, more peaceful sleep. Considering we spend a third of our lives in bed, we should sleep in the best. When you sleep in Damask sheets, you will never sleep in anything else...
