Made in Italy, this elegant houndstooth flannel sheet set includes:
- 1 top sheet with valance, approx. 240x290 cm
- 1 fitted bottom sheet, approx. 180x200 cm + 23 cm to fit the mattress perfectly
- 2 pillowcases with flap, each approx. 50x80 cm
The set is made of soft 100% brushed cotton flannel and features an anti-pilling treatment to ensure its quality over time.
The anti-pilling treatment is designed to preserve the softness and appearance of the sheets, reducing the formation of annoying pills resulting from daily wear and friction. During use, shorter fibers tend to detach, causing a less smooth surface. To prevent this phenomenon, several steps are followed:
-
Fiber selection: Long-staple cotton yarns are used, which are more resistant and less prone to pilling.
-
Fiber combing: Shorter fibers are removed, thus obtaining a more homogeneous and smooth fabric.
-
Reinforcing treatment: Specific coatings are applied to make the fibers more resistant to rubbing, limiting the formation of pills.
-
Controlled napping: The flannel undergoes careful napping, which maintains its softness without compromising the strength of the fibers.
-
Durability tests: The fabric is tested for abrasion resistance, confirming the effectiveness of the anti-pilling treatment.
Thanks to this process, flannel sheets remain soft and comfortable over time, even after repeated washing and use.
The houndstooth pattern, also called pied de poule in French, is a classic textile pattern distinguished by its geometric design of small, irregular squares, often in contrasting colors. The design is made up of blocks of four broken shapes that vaguely resemble the profile of a chicken's foot, hence the name "pied de poule" in French.
The pattern develops by alternating light and dark blocks, generally in black and white, although it can be made in a variety of colors. Its repetitive structure creates a dynamic and sophisticated visual effect, and is often used in clothing and furnishing fabrics for an elegant and timeless touch.
