There is no better time to
restock the linen cupboard
than January, the month of
"White Sales," say con-
sumer specialists at the
Home Economics Branch of
the Ontario Ministry of Agri-
culture and Food.
Although most of our bed-
ding and towels are colored ,
now, we still use the term
White Sales. In general,
these sales offer large
quantities of new
merchandise at reduced
prices.
If you make a point of
buying a few household
linens each year at sale time
and rotate their use with
older linens, you will avoid
the problem of having them
wear out at the same time.
When you go shopping for
sheets and pillowcases, do
you wonder what quality you
should buy? There are basic-
ally two types - percale and
muslin. Percale is fine, light-
s eight and smooth, while,
muslin is coarser, of heavier
weight and hard-wearing.
Either type may still be
purchased in 100% cotton,
but the no-iron, longer-
wearing blends of polyester
and cotton are more readily
available. The most popular
blends are 65% polyester
and 55% cotton, or 50%
polyester and 50% cotton.
Newer blends of 60% cotton
and 40% polyester are said
to be more comfortable be-
cause of the increased
amount of cotton. Flannelet-
te sheets may contain 10%
polyester along with the cot-
ton to help reduce shrinkage.
With the many sizes of
beds now in use, the shopper
has to be careful to select
sheets in the right size.
Fitted bottom sheets are sold
according to mattress size.
Since the standard mattress
is 75 inches long and the
extra long mattress is 80
inches, the finished length of
flat sheets, that is the length
after the, hems are made,
should be at least 100 and
104 inches respectively to
allow for tuck-under. Since it
is the shoulder area that
wears out first, sheets with
two-inch hems at both top
and bottom are reversible
and, therefore, more
practical than those with a
three-inch top hem and a
one-inch bottom hem.
There are many types of
terry towels from which to
choose. Most will be satis-
factory whether they are the
lightest weight or the thick
luxurious type, but some will
be better buys than others.
Choose towels of soft,
medium-soft, or rough
texture, whichever you pre-
fer.
Keep in mind that the
loops do the drying and. the
ground weave (the towel's
backbone) does the wearing.
The tighter the weave and
the denser the loops, the
better the towel. Hold it up to
the light to check its con-
struction. While you're at it,
look for firm selvedges, and
especially check the eveness
of the weave next to the
selvedge, Look for hems that
are sewn with small, even
stitches reinforced at the
ends to prevent raveling.
With some towels, a final
prxess shears the tips of the
loops so that the smooth look
and feel of velvet is achieved.
The velvety surface does not
absorb moisture from wet
skin as quickly as a looped
surface. Color affects
absorbency to some extent,
as well. Dark colors do not
absorb as well as white or
pastels.
With dark colored towels,
it is particularly important to
choose ones labeled "color -
fast" or "vat dyed" so you
know they will keep their
color as long as possible.
Whatever your choice of
bedding or towels, buy the
best quality you can afford
