Seems to be muslin. However the closest thing we have found to “grandmother’s sheets” that are still in production are Red Land Cotton. It has a thread count of 140!

Today, normal sheets are "measured" by thread count, so the thread count of these will likely NOT help you finding a twin. This applies to percale/sateen sheets. Other sheet types such as jersey, flannel, etc., are "measured" by material weight in GSM or Ounces, so if you know for sure its 240GSM via a label, you are best advised to find that via google.

I'm not Johnny Sheets, so the above may be a bit off.

I got a woollen one and I love it, 10/10. I purchased from Wool Room, I got the all season. It’s basically two blankets that snap together so you can choose the warmth. I’ve also heard great things about Frankenmuth. .

My husband and I are fairly hot sleepers and it regulates temp well, but is still plenty warm in the winter. It’s not fluffy (if that’s important to you), but it has a decent weight still. Not like weighted blanket heavy, but a cozy weight.

Haha the loading dock where people move their items, deliveries etc. people leave items they don’t need/want anymore.

My best find is this just had to take it in an have some valves and a part replaced.

I find all sorts of items. It’s just people who are lazy to donate properly or sell their goods.

It’s just a plain percale weave, isn’t it? It’s not brushed/flannel/jersey, but is there any other sort of naming I should be looking for?
This sheet is probably 50+ years old and is labelled as “Duro” a UK brand that doesn’t seem to exist anymore
