Linstrekk i lin, Ashes of Roses

The linen has this dry, cool feel against my skin that I wasn't expecting from a flat sheet. I've washed it three times now and it's only gotten softer, plus it actually keeps me from waking up sweaty at 3am.

I run warm at night and was skeptical linen would make much difference, but this sheet actually breathes instead of trapping heat. It's a bit crisp straight out of the wash, though that seems to be softening up with each use.

My bedroom faces west, so summer evenings turn the room into an oven, but this linen keeps me from waking up clammy. It has a slight crispness that softened after two washes, and the weave actually breathes instead of trapping heat.
