NN craig again yawn literally
I'm a textile scientist (only English 4 yr degree) and I adore Northern Nights bedding, I totally get the count thingy :up: and my only problem (I wash it at 60degrees)has been the elastic
I have ME and not pressing bedding was for yrs a huge problem, and my NN bedding after hanging/drying on the washing line almost fulfills my needs
My Hubby is a beef farmer, so spends his life in wellies and heavy socks, and he gets the high thread counts too; it's just heaven on your feet.
At worst if you hate it, it's a few ££ to send back, my biggest problem (but not unsurmountable) has been keeping pale blue bedding, pale blue, with a man who works an average of 96hours a week amongst beef cattle, daily baths aren't daily, well 6am-9pm too tired
the problem with the two northern nights sets that i have purchased is the thread to start with is so thin that the fabric has no weight to it its too flimsy so it creases more than any other bedding i have bought elsewhere.flimsy is not a good thing in bedding and flimsy is not soft its cheap. the set i kept cost nearly £90.00 and i can buy french or italian superb bedding in the sale on the high street for that.
maybe i was unlucky but to have to iron bedding even if it is cotton every day to keep the creases out seems very odd to me.
it is comfortable but i have also found that other bedding that i have had for 8 years or more are looking much better than my nn offerings 3 months old.:yawn:
