Spinning fine yarns for great sheets

Spinning fine yarns for great sheets

Supima yarn spinning for made in USA bed sheets, bedding, home goods

Are you looking for a luxurious set of sheets? Are you looking to invest your money in a set of sheets that not only feel soft and cozy, but are built to last, wash after wash? If so, you need to buy sheets that are made with the best yarn possible - spun by the best mill in the business!

Buying sheets that are made with inferior yarn (the base ingredient in sheets) is like trying to make an apple pie with old, rotting apples - no matter what you do to sweeten it, that pie is not going to be very good.
 
Here at Authenticity 50, we sourced the best yarn possible for our sheets. Here's a brief rundown of our process:
 
First, we use the highest quality cotton available, Supima®, as our base ingredient. No rotten apples here! Our Supima® cotton is shipped from the California farm and received by our partners who take the raw, harvested cotton, and spin it into something we can use; yarn.
 
The spinning of yarn into goods and products has been around for centuries. Yarn is very versatile; it can be knit into fabric for apparel (like t-shirts or hoodies,) or woven into fabric for goods, (like sheets and drapes.) In our modern day world, the spinning of raw cotton into yarn is an impressive, high-tech process. It requires millions of dollars of machinery, and many trained technicians to keep the business running smoothly around the clock. Our partners spin yarn 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 350+ days a year!
 
By keeping our entire manufacturing process at home in the USA, we are able to easily visit our partners and ensure that we are providing our customers with the very best cotton sheets around! The flight to Georgia, to visit our yarn mill is only a short, 4.5 hour flight from LAX, versus a lengthy 12 hour flight to China or India. I visited the mill on my Deep South tour and the amazing staff not only gave me an overview of their history, they gave me a comprehensive tour of their factory floor. I saw the manufacturing process firsthand; where the cotton is delivered, brushed, and straightened, and then spun into beautiful, durable, fine yarns.

 

 

This family owned business has been in operation for more than 200 years, and this specific factory was opened in 1996 (bucking the trend of massive closures of textile mills in the Southern States.) I'm very happy to report that the company has weathered the economic storms of late; they are going strong and remain the premiere spinner of Supima® yarn in the United States.

 

It goes without saying; If you want to create a great product, you have to work with the best partners! We at A50 are very proud to be working with our spinning mill, and I'm thankful for the generous time they spent with me on my visit.

Hi Angela,
Thank you very much for the kind words and for sharing us with your friends! We really appreciate it! We don’t have a large marketing budget so having people like yourself sharing our business makes a HUGE difference.

We’re really excited about our product, the ONLY bed sheets that are entirely Made in America. It’s been a long haul but we’re working hard to make it happen!

Best Blanket Ever

Exceptional construction and attention to details. The weight is perfect for year round use. We’ve tried many different bedding combinations and fabrics and there’s nothing like cotton! The size on my King was generous and the weave pattern is smooth and comfortable I feel the cost is reasonable for an all American made blanket. Highly recommend

EXCELLENT quality

LOVE this blanket. We'd had it with thin cotton blankets that over stretch -- this one is such high quality, I understand why they call it 'heirloom.' I gave 4/5 stars only because I waited MONTHS and the neutral colors didn't come back on line (why?) so I had to order the yellow color to get for my bed what I already had for two couch/chair throws. Make more -- and make more neutrals!

Heritage Blankets are made to last!

I recently had the pleasure of trying out the Authentically50 Heritage Blankets, and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations! As someone who values quality and authenticity, this blanket truly hit the mark.

Overall, I can't recommend the Authentically50 Heritage Blankets enough. Not only is it a testament to American craftsmanship, but the outstanding customer support provided by Patrick truly sets this company apart. If you're in the market for a high-quality blanket that's made to last, look no further!

Prairie Yellow is Gorgeous

Perfectly complements our southwest pillows...this is a beautiful shade of yellow. I searched a lot of bedding sites! Don't be dissuaded by the price; this blanket is a good investment. The quality is great....edges are neat, weight is perfect for year round use, generous size, and the weave is so beautiful you can actually use it as a coverlet as I have. I will soon purchase a second one (desert rose) for our guest bedroom. This blanket is a bit more expensive, but not luxury priced, making it a great value proposition for the years of use it will give.
