I was a little hesitant as I've never bought a 'wayfarer basic' product but the reviews were promising and the price was great. I got the flannel sheets in the icy blue color because the white was back-ordered. I got them not even 2 days after I placed the order! I washed them this afternoon before putting them on my bed and they're softer than when I took them out of the packaging. There was quite a bit of lint in the lint trap of the dryer but I've had that happen with other brands of flannel sheets and typically doesn't happen that much again. They're warm but not too heavy- they're a comfortable weight. They're not the heaviest flannel, might need another layer if it's for a particularly cold location, but great for what I was looking for and a great price!
