For that amount of money I would expect them to quote a thread count figure. Is there a way you can raise a query?

Yep, inhave emailed them.

Linen lasts well, so i don't mind spending on it a bit if its lovely. I do find it hard to let go of lineny stuff though. I have all my student stuff too, and mothers cast offs. I use some for the dogs' duvets, but others are hoarded in boxes. I should get rid of stuff i will not use, before buying new stuff i should nopt spend money on.

I love them, but they are a lot, and i cannot see a thread count mentioned.

Our 'best' set of bed linen is looking a bit tatty, it has sequins (i know all the noys will have already recoiled in horror) which have lts their sparkle and gone clear on the duvet cover. When we decorate our bedroom i might put one of the expensive quilts my mother gave us in the bed permanantly, so could ditch the duvet most of the year and just have sheets.

oooo...they are pretty. But expensive. why not go for a cheaper one/on sale from wallace sacks or similar?

TK Maxx or Homesense

They have loads of really good stuff, I got Orla Kiely egyptian cotton stuff for the spare room that they sell in John Lewis for megabucks for about £20 in a lovely box. And they all sorts of Amercian posh brands and high thread count. Homesense is better because they have more variety. I totally love Homesense.

I also love Toast and that is beautiful, beautiful. You'd have to iron it though or get someone to do it for you

I love tk maxx too, and have bought nice linen there . I don't think we have a homesense near us, not last time i checked the website anyway.

Edit: oh, and i don't mind ironing it, i actually enjoy it.

I had never heard of wallace sacks. This is brilliant, especially for plain bottom sheets! What bargains!

(i prefer flat sheets as bottom sheets, they are easier to iron and stay put. My fitted sheets hop off all the time, hate it.
