Pinzon 160-Gram Yarn-Dye Flannel Sheet Set Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I wasn't too sure I would like flannel sheets as I don't want to be too hot when I sleep however, these are just so incredibly soft!They are warm but not too too hot. They don't even feel like "flannel" that I remember from the old days.The softness is GREAT and makes you really feel like you don't want to get out of bed in the morning!I have a regular Beautyrest mattress with a removable mattress topper and I liked the fact that I did not have to break a sweat getting the fitted sheet on the mattress.They also stay put just fine, not to loose either.I ordered the matching duvet cover also and am pleased with everything. Washed on cold, medium to dry, and did have to empty the lint filter three times during the drying cycle.These are heavenly and the price is just icing on the cake.A good night's sleep is priceless anyway!Amazon's delivery time is unbelievably fast.I ordered on a Monday and received on a Thursday, the same week.I highly recommend this sheet set.It is beautiful and very comfortable.

Fabric Definition
Flannel: Flannel fabrics are noted for their fuzzy softness, warmth, and durability, and they can be dyed or printed. Thought to have been popularized in Wales in the 17th century, flannel was an all-wool fabric made of woolen or worsted yarns, with a brushed surface and a soft napped finish obscuring its weave. Flannel may be plain woven or twill woven and, today, most flannel fabrics are made of cotton fibers or synthetic rayon fibers that are slightly napped on both sides to resemble the old woolen or worsted yarn weaves. A wide range of flannel weights and textures is available. The fabric weight and quality of the napping affect the warmth and softness of the fabric. Many people prefer flannel bedding during the cold, winter months, but some flannel weights are appropriate in breathability and comfort all year long.
History of the Region
Portugal's major textile factories are located in Guimaraes. Guimaraes is known as the "cradle" or "birth city" of Portugal, since it is home to the castle of Portugal's first king. As one of the country's most historic cities with well-preserved monuments, it is a popular tourist attraction. Among other sites to see are two squares with outdoor cafes and balconied houses, called Praça de Santiago and Largo da Oliveira. At Largo da Oliveira are the old Town Hall and the Church of Nossa Senhora da Oliveira, with a Gothic shrine erected in 1340 standing before it. There are many legends about its origins, but a popular story says it marks the spot where Wamba, elected king of the Visigoths, refused his title and drove a pole into the ground swearing that he would not reign until it blossomed, and it sprouted immediately. Guimaraes hosts an annual 3-day festival of medieval art and costume in the first week of August, which dates from the middle of the 15th century and includes a torchlight procession and a medieval parade. Not only renowned for textiles and historical sites, Guimaraes is in the heart of the "Vinho Verde" region, so called for its locally produced fresh, young "green wines."
