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

Engineer's ruler, it has six different scales, quite handy for drawing scale diagrams.

Hi, hijacking the top post to thank everyone for the responses so far. Opinions seem to be it is either muslin ( a type of cotton) or linen (flax).
I'm going to get samples of both to test, although in my search I came across a 300gsm Italian linen sheet which looks incredible.
Someone asked about a label, all it says is "Duro superb quality guaranteed R.T.S.A tested"

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
