I ordered two sets of sheets XL twin, washed them together in cold water as they were patterned and put away! My husband was making the beds today (side by side) for the first time and are two different colours! One set looks like it has been washed numerous times, and the top sheets  pillow cases are the washed out colour too! Not cheap sheets by any means and am annoyed as they have not even been slept on yet! The dealer needs to be notified about this! If you are buying more than one set double check the dye lot before  after washing side by side or use immediately! Mine are on a King split mattress so was obvious immediately when bottom sheets put on and both top sheets  pillowcases the washed out version!
