Hi Sooz,

What about rough linen website? Is it that you want a light sheet or something heavier? https://www.roughlinen.com

Have you seen hankerchief linen? It's very light, 54" wide and washable. It has a very nice, light hand and is often used in fine fashion and heirloom sewing. There is batiste, very light and soft, comes in a poly blend and 100% cotton $$$.

Perhaps if you visit a quilting shop you might find a quality cotton, like Moda. That manufacturer has very nice cottons that wash and dry well. Check your area for heirloom sewing, fashion sewing and quilting. I apologize if I have completely missed your point.

Some online quilt shops might have a swatch service. They will send you a small square of fabric so you can feel it. This service does cost but that way you can get a larger sampling before you commit.

Wow, what wonderful info, meyerk9 -- thank you!!!

I just visited the roughlinen website and almost fainted when I saw the prices. Beautiful and lovely, to be sure, but a bit out of my price range.

I do want a medium to light sheet, that wears well and won't fall apart within a few years!

There is a quilting shop "down the street and around the corner" and will visit them too! Thanks for the recommendation about quality cotton like Moda.

Smiles,

Sooz

You're going to have a hard time finding fabric that wide. A quick search for cotton sheeting by the yard turned up this place: http://organiccottonplus.com/collections/wovens-sateen-percale-sheeting.

Thanks, clt3, for the link...the hunt is on!

What came to mind almost immediately was: Bed Bath and Beyond, and their coupons. Save them when you see them in the mail, email, etc. Like cit3, though, I agree that you're going to have a hard time finding fabric that wide and for a reasonable price.

Many quilt shops have backing fabric which is usually 108 inches wide, wide enough for a king bed. If you're in a quilt shop, inquire about it.

I just bought a set of Peacock Alley King sheets on Overstock. Their prices seem to fluctuate based on stock. I paid ~$55 for the first set and about ~$65 for the second set a couple of weeks later. I see they are up to $75 now, but that is still not a bad price for a nice set of sheets. I like them because they are percale, not sateen, and are crisp.

Thanks everyone! I ended up getting a 500 TC flat King sheet, 100% (pima) cotton, made in Portugal, from eBay. VERY nice sheet, tightly woven (cannot see through it!), feels "medium heavy" to me, which is just what I wanted, for $32 plus shipping.

Hi Sooz, I am in the market for a similar sheet. Can you please share the seller? Thanks!
