That looks like linen. All sheets set we have right now are linen although I don't think they're that heavy. But I do have one summer dress that's made of heavy linen and this sheet looks similar to it.

I spent a lot of money for each sets but so far they're worth it. Only the extra blankets/bed covers are cotton.

We wash them with baking soda for pre wash and white vinegar for rinsing. They immediately became soft. They're warm in winter and cooling in summer.

They do have the natural lived in look but it's better as we honestly don't have time to iron our beddings.

This looks pretty similar to my linen sheets, but mine are organic and un-dyed so their color is more of a tan/taupe color. But the weave and look of it seem very similar.

I have varying styles of darn tough, smart wool and REI (thicker style with the REI) for several years now. I still can’t tell which is best. I have one pair of darn tough, iirc, that fit kinda small comparatively to my others that are exactly the same size and style. I’d recommend all tbh. Otherwise Kirkland merino wool is worth checking out I’ve heard. Point6 is another I’ve heard of but haven’t tried, the owners originally created smartwool

I have the shoe version with a leather sole and really like them as well. If you go this route, I recommend sizing slightly up and adding a shearling insole for ultimate comfort and durability.
