Bed linen

Has anyone come across any Fairtrade cotton bed linen that isn't plain white/cream? I don't do plain white/cream sheets or duvet covers - they look dirty too quickly & aren't very interesting.

One of my favourite duvet covers for a while was one that I bought in a charity shop and then dyed pink. You could also do this with new fairtrade sheets, I guess, although it likely isn't as environmentally friendly as buying them already-coloured.

Depends on what kind of dyeing technology you use, I'd guess - but yeah, consumer-market fabric dyes are probably not that friendly in their manufacture.
