I was thrilled when I opened the package that arrived 3 days from the time I ordered.  The sheets were very soft and looked like they would be very comfortable for sleeping.  Deciding that I wanted to wash the sheets before using, I loaded the washer.  After I put the sheets in the dryer and started folding, I noticed on the flat sheet, there was several small, almost worn looking holes. Because I didn't notice any holes in the fitted sheet, decide to just keep them.  Time will tell how and if the holes will survive the wear and tear regular use.
