What's the difference between flannel and cotton?
Most flannel is made from cotton, though you can also find wool flannel. Feel-wise, flannel is fuzzier and thicker than other cotton weaves like sateen or percale. If you are looking for a crisp feel, check out our guide to the best cotton sheets.
What's the difference between flannel and plaid?
Plaid refers to a checked pattern, whereas flannel is a specific type of fabric. Plenty of flannel sheets feature plaid patterns, which is why they frequently get confused.
Why do flannel sheets produce so much lint?
Brushing cotton when making flannel causes broken or loose threads, so it's prone to shedding. The shedding fibers cause lint.
Im trying to get a good quality fitted bed sheet and a couple bath towels. For the sheet Im thinking the 280tc pima cotton percale one they sell. Then for the towels Im really not sure between their Premium cotton towel for $35 and their Organic Textured Cotton Towel for $25. Im wondering what the difference is in durability and absorbancy is between the two. Also which is softer is good to know, although softness isnt a priority with bath towels as Ive found that rougher towels do a better job. Maybe that's just because Im used to lower quality towels though.
Im also open to any other suggestions for high quality towels or a fitted sheet. Im usually lean towards the highest quality I can get at a reasonable price, I dont like paying a premium for brand and think maybe Im doing that getting them through LL bean.
