(More customer reviews)These sheets are excellent in every regard. Nicely cut, plenty of coverage even after a wash and high temperature dry. Don't bother with thin, low quality flannel that pills and becomes transparent after a few washings....This is the way to go. The solid colors are the same weight and quality for a little less...We have both solid and plaid; both are an excellent value!

Pinzon\'s warm, soft, and cozy flannel sheets are a treat to sleep in. Expertly made in Portugal with 160 grams of cotton per square meter, the superior-quality fabric begins with dyed yarns so the plaid patterning is woven through and appears on both sides. In addition, the machine-washable flannel arrives pre-shrunk, so no surprises after its first wash. The handsome green and orange plaid set mixes and matches easily with other colors and patterns. Peruse the wide variety of Pinzon flannel and yarn-dyed flannel bedding and velvet accessories to create a layered look with an ultra-soft feel. Offered in all standard bedding sizes, the Queen set here includes an 87-by-105-inch flat sheet, 60-by-80-inch fitted sheet, and two 20-by-31-inch pillowcases.
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 breatheability and comfort all year long.
History of the Region Portugal\'s major textile factories are located in Guimaraes, 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."
