Fabric Definition
Flannel: Flannel fabrics are noted for their fuzzy softness, warmth, and durability, and they can be dyed or printed. Thought to have been popularized in Wales in the 17th century, flannel was an all-wool fabric made of woolen or worsted yarns, with a brushed surface and a soft napped finish obscuring its weave. Flannel may be plain woven or twill woven and, today, most flannel fabrics are made of cotton fibers or synthetic rayon fibers that are slightly napped on both sides to resemble the old woolen or worsted yarn weaves. A wide range of flannel weights and textures is available. The fabric weight and quality of the napping affect the warmth and softness of the fabric. Many people prefer flannel bedding during the cold, winter months, but some flannel weights are appropriate in breatheability and comfort all year long.

History of the Region
Portugal's major textile factories are located in Guimaraes. Guimaraes is known as the "cradle" or "birth city" of Portugal, since it is home to the castle of Portugal's first king. As one of the country's most historic cities with well-preserved monuments, it is a popular tourist attraction. Among other sites to see are two squares with outdoor cafes and balconied houses, called Praça de Santiago and Largo da Oliveira. At Largo da Oliveira are the old Town Hall and the Church of Nossa Senhora da Oliveira, with a Gothic shrine erected in 1340 standing before it. There are many legends about its origins, but a popular story says it marks the spot where Wamba, elected king of the Visigoths, refused his title and drove a pole into the ground swearing that he would not reign until it blossomed, and it sprouted immediately. Guimaraes hosts an annual 3-day festival of medieval art and costume in the first week of August, which dates from the middle of the 15th century and includes a torchlight procession and a medieval parade. Not only renowned for textiles and historical sites, Guimaraes is in the heart of the "Vinho Verde" region, so called for its locally produced fresh, young "green wines."

5.0 out of 5 stars Soft, Cozy Luxury at a Fantastic Price!, October 5, 2008

By	Ava Rose (Englewood, CO USA) - See all my reviews

These sheets are an absolute delight. Thick and fluffy, but not heavy, they wrap you in a contented feeling of warmth, as you sink into softness.

I awoke after my first night feeling like a child on a crisp snowy winter morning, smelling Mom's breakfast cooking, and as blissful as a cat curled up in front of the fireplace.

The color I chose, "Sky", is a delicate light blue/lavender that really does look like a lovely summer sky. Its beautiful with the matching duvet cover (also available from Amazon).

Highly recommended for getting your morning off to the best start possible!

5.0 out of 5 stars super soft!!, November 4, 2008

By	jaytee - See all my reviews

I hadn't bought flannel sheets in over 10 years as I am relatively a hot sleeper. This year I thought I would save in my heating bill by purchasing some flannel sheets. It has been the best decision ever. Not only did I save on my heating bill, but they are soooo soft & warm I could lie in bed all day. I am so happy with my purchase.
