In case you end up needing to make your life easier, I do not iron my lovely percale low thread count sheets from Au Lit Fine. They are almost as great as the Wamsutta percale sheets of my youth (which haven't been made for 30 years or something, but are still missed). I used to iron them, but stopped, and they are still wonderful. I just don't have that kind of time.

If you want to save some money, check out LLBean's 280-TC pima percale sheets. They aren't at the level of Au Lit Fine's, but given they cost less than half, they are pretty darn good. I also like that you don't have to buy a set, but can buy individual sheets that you need. I seem to have a collection gathering dust of unused pillow cases from being forced to buy sets.

ETA: I take the sheets out of the dryer while still slightly damp, and put them on the bed that way. It minimizes the wrinkles. I wait about 1/2 hour for them to finish air drying, and then I finish making the bed with the blankets, etc.

Now that you have been "converted" to percale sheets by this forum, it's on to towels! Do a search for some towel threads on this forum, and you won't be able to use your old towels again haha.

You know your sheets friedajune!

All I know I learned from you Rococogurl!

Sadly my Au Lit sheets still have the dreaded crease that makes me crazy. I own several sets and they all have it save one. I still iron pillow cases and the top edge of the flat sheet at minimum. I have a Miele rotary iron but it's still a chore lol.
