What is the history of bed linen?
When choosing sheets based on the thread count, keep in mind there are a few materials that can have a smaller number of threads and still be very durable. For example, linen sheets generally have a low thread count, so a good quality linen sheet can have a thread count of 120, but a cotton sheet would need upwards of 500 to be good quality.
The flat sheet is hemmed identically on three sides and has one larger hem on the fourth side. The wider hem folds back over your blanket, coverlet, or duvet, and can be finished with a simple stitch, hemstitch, or embroidery.
