Linen or Legna?

Be it global warming or the natural cycles of Mother Nature, we've had some strange weather in Portland, Oregon over the past year. It was bad enough not having a real summer in 2007 to dry things out, but insult was added to injury by having the longest, wettest, grayest winter in memory.

And then bang, last week all records were shattered as the mercury reached 96 degrees.

And this week? Back to the normal 60's. And needing to fire up the furnace in the mornings to take the chill off.

And this wreaks havoc with one's bedding wardrobe!

Warm silky Legna (you know, the sheets spun from beech wood fiber) or pure linen (you know, the kind of scratchy sheets woven from the flax fiber)?

Dunno. Still trying to figure it out. I've presently got the linen sheets on the bed as I needed the cool hand and breathability for the three nights last week that were toasty. Last night, though, they were too cool and clammy to feel luxurious and I'm thinking about switching back to Legna.

Who knew your sheets would require as much thought as your clothing wardrobe?
