Excellent sheets - excellent fabric!
I'm quite the fabric snob. Since I sew and quilt a great deal, I know the feel and durability of good FABRIC. Cotton is my fabric of choice, and some cottons hold up a whole lot better than others due to the weave, type of cotton and thread count. I had grown so weary of the microfiber sheets we had. That's all you can find in stores, and after purchasing a set for my bed, I realized that these were not the sheets for me. I needed good, durable cotton. I seemed to be on an impossible quest.
My standard, ironically, were a few white cotton flat sheets that my mother gave me to use as quilt backing. They were my Nana's and probably 50 years old, but they were in perfect condition (other than a few bluing stains which were easily removed). When I used them to back a few quilts, I reveled in their weight, their thickness and how beautifully they came out of the washer and dryer. I searched for a sheet set with all of the qualities and characteristics of my Nana's top sheets. Searched and searched.
And I finally found them! These are it! These sheets wash beautifully. I have hung them on my clothesline to dry direct from the washer (they were a tad wrinkly, but who cares?) and I have thrown them in my dryer. You do have to remove them when they're JUST dry - do not let them bake and over-dry (I was used to that routine from pre-washing/drying yards and yards of fabric to sew with). Both methods of drying work well and the sheets are soft and SOOO comfortable. Pockets are deep on the fitted sheet, the flat sheet is extra-long for easy tucking and the pillowcases easily accommodate a large, fluffy pillow.
I could not be happier with these sheets. They are now my go-to sheets, as I will be purchasing other sets to outfit other beds in my home so I can get rid of those nasty microfiber sheets that are horrible!
