Is it a bad year for sheets?

[laurie53]

I have had to throw three away already this year, one top, two bottom.

Time was when that would have now been a glut of collars, doylies, fine linen handkerchiefs and table napkins but those days are long gone!

Why have you had to throw away 3 sheets Laurie.What do you mean about bad year for sheets.?

[laurie53]

Huge tears from top to bottom and the material is obviously quite rotten.

Just unusual to throw away 3 sheets in as many months.

Nothing seems to have the qualitylike it use to,
can remember my Grandmother saying when a sheet had a hole in it, you cut it in two where the hole is and join the other sides together then hem it all round. Don't think so today.

I have thrown sheets away if they are too small for my bed or don't fit very well anymore,mainly fitted sheets.

Check your toenails Laurie! I seem to generate razor sharp ones now, quite capable of shredding sheets, specially the way I rotate in bed.

I use a professional; of course, so they shouldn't be a problem!
