I regret not reading the other reviews on these sheets first. I was thrilled to receive these because they are utterly gorgeous and coordinate well with the colors of my bedroom. Although they feel stiff after washing, they look fantastic on the bed. They feel harsh on my skin and have tiny pills on them. In my dream from the previous night, I was actually in need of new flannel sheets. Sadly, I let the window to close; therefore I am unable to retrieve them at this time.
