I've been looking for years ever since My Mom's old sheets wore out. Would you believe Penney's is selling new "old" muslin sheets? True I just ordered a flat full size - pricey but they must have found a stash somewhere. On their web site. It's a lot easier to find the kid prints and garish flowers than a plain or a stripe. Check through Google for Antique Muslin sheets too - they are still out there. Also K-Mart has new sets for an unbelievable 2010 price - lots of colors and all the sizes. Ladies I think they finally heard us :) Yea! I found muslin sheets! I’ve been looking for years ever since My Mom’s old sheets wore out. Would you believe Penney’s is selling new “old” muslin sheets?

I don't want to get new sheets, but my sheets are showing their age. I agree with the person who wrote about muslin being soft. My mother's and grandmother's muslin sheets just kept getting softer and softer every year. There was no ironing because they hung them on the line and they were beyond wrinkles, they were just too limp to wrinkle after all those washings. There was nothing better than to get into a freshly washed bed with those sheets. Just such a soft smooth feel. I've bought the Egyptian cotton sheets for our King sized bed and was not impressed. They got a hole before they were a year old, and once you mend that spot you can always feel it. So I'm thinking of percale. With a King size bed it's going to be a big investment whatever I choose. I just hope I can find something before too long, my husband even commented on how they were looking! My sheets have a print and next time I will be getting a solid color as the print started to fade after the first couple of years of being washed so often, and now after 15 years they just look...old.

Problem is, the minimum order is 2 dozen (pillowcases: six dozen!) and I only need a couple of sets! Vermont Country Store used to offer them and don't any more. I have thought about buying them and selling the extras on ebay, but my husband will kill me if I go into the mail-order business! I found a wholesale website that sells 180-tc muslin sheets.

I have a set that is at least 25 years old and they are the softest thing to ever touch your body!!! Problem is, they are finally starting to wear out and I'm desperate to replace them. If anyone knows where you still CAN buy these suckers, please let me know. I’m on a grand hunt for muslin sheets.

I guess it has no thread count but it feels so silky! I found this website (http://www.elegantlinenspc.com/) that sent me a swatch and once I got it I was instantly sold! So I've had them for couple months now and I wont sleep on anything else! The best part is that they don't require ironing! They were a little pricey but it was worth every penny!

If ironing wasn't enough of a real pain, the smell of starch in lieu of delightful laundry fragrances is a decided turnoff.
