Can you help identify this sheet material? It's literally one of grandma's old sheets, it seems to have a thread count of about 150, but the most important thing is the weight, it's 240gsm, twice as heavy as anything I can find online.PrettyGazelle OP t1_j6mds1h wrote
It’s just a plain percale weave, isn’t it? It’s not brushed/flannel/jersey, but is there any other sort of naming I should be looking for?
This sheet is probably 50+ years old and is labelled as “Duro” a UK brand that doesn’t seem to exist anymore

Today, normal sheets are "measured" by thread count, so the thread count of these will likely NOT help you finding a twin. This applies to percale/sateen sheets. Other sheet types such as jersey, flannel, etc., are "measured" by material weight in GSM or Ounces, so if you know for sure its 240GSM via a label, you are best advised to find that via google.
I'm not Johnny Sheets, so the above may be a bit off.

It's a linen percale. Most likely Irish loomed if it's heavy weight, slight slubs, and ticks that tight while still low thread count.

OK, I just tracked down a pair of Irish linen flat sheets for the bargain price of £1,188.79 !
