Your blogspot was exactly the information I was looking for. I clicked on the link and ordered my first set of sheets. Hopefully they have the crisp feel that I remember so well.

If the idea of " used" sheets bothers you if you search around you can often find what's called OpenStock. These are vintage things that are still in the packaging. It doesn't bother me to buy used sheets- as long as they are in very good condition. We all use them at hotels and friends' homes. You are going to wash them very well. I have found beautiful, crisp sheets that take me back to my childhood days - the patterns and feel...completely worth it!

Recently, a seller listed s stack of vintage sheets that she had inherited. She took them to a local university to have the age/fiber content analyzed. The results were very interesting......All of the sheets came from American mills, and were manufactured in the 1920s through the 1940s. And all of the sheets were made of cotton with a touch of FLAX added in. (Probably to give the sheets more durability and to save $$$.) So even though sheets w/labels from this period state that they're made of 100% cotton, there's a good chance they're acturally a cotton/flax blend.)<br />KAWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11909401347783267430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6801958290695793419.post-20563186005104224352016-02-15T14:04:43.701-08:002016-02-15T14:04:43.701-08:00Don't know if you're still with us but, if...Don't know if you're still with us but, if you are, just wanted to let you know this blog was very helpful in my search for proper sheets [read: crisp, cool, muslin, linen, percale, etc. Thank you.!<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17975664731045728468noreply@blogger.com
