where can i buy cotton sheets?

You definitely need 100% pure cotton to dye, and you need to wash them on a very hot setting twice before dyeing to remove any special finish which might resist the dye. A bit of a faff, imo.

Ive had sheets from this place

(oh bugger this pesky new BB!! Can't use it. Grrrr. )

so, i'm curious. why might a person prefer a flat bottom sheet (as opposed to fitted)?

ohh i got all happy about the bright red sheets there until i realised they are a 50/50 mix. all the egyptian cotton ones are pastel colours

i dunno. i spose making the nice neat straight corner on a bed is my favourite bit of housework. it reminds me of my mum

anyway fitted sheets are shit for making dens out of

Lidl are doing a special on cotton bed sheets from next monday

the question should be 'why does wiskey always want things that arent readily available?'

I've been (very inactively) looking for kingsize cotton bright yellow non fitted sheets for years now. No luck

well just ordered brand new 100% plain dyed cotton duvet cover, sheets x2 and pillow cases x4 from La Redoute as reccomended by secret squirrel

BRIGHT yellow and purple

wikkid

sadly i think the bed will arrive before they do

( i nearly had a disaster - i got to just before you pay before i realised fitted sheets had mysteriously replaced the flat ones i'm sure i chose )
