Signature Hemmed Sheet Set

This is my first Boll & Branch purchase and in some ways, I'm not thrilled. Although I am usually a white sheet gal, the color is beautiful - a lovely soft gray blue. They are soft enough, but not as soft as I am used to, however, I know they will soften as they are washed and used. They are a nice ample size. But the smell. I don't know if it was just my sheets, but I had to wash these sheets and pillowcases THREE times before I could sleep on them. I would say there is just a slight smell remaining but I just did not expect that from good expensive organic sheets. I probably would have returned them but during this time of COVID it's a bit difficult to do that.
