I bought the sage green ticking set about a week ago. For starters I thought the background color was white. It's not. It's beige. Ugh. They are NOT thick. I have thick flannel sheets and know the difference. They are soft, but I haven't washed them yet so we'll see. I'm too cheap to pay to ship them back, but won't make this mistake again.
These sheets aren't cheap. We only use flannel... you could consider us flannel sheet connoisseurs. However, you cannot find flannel sheets of this quality and softness anywhere. I'm serious, we've tried them all. A relative once described them as being as soft as rabbit hair. I have been asked on more than one occasion by guests where we bought our sheets. That being said... fork out the 150 for the king set. It's worth it.
