bought two with the duvet cover for the matching effect. large pillows, so would better on a queen size rather than the full.

The standard sham measures 20 by 26 inches and has an envelope closure. Easy to care for, the sham can be washed and dried at home. Mix and match various colors and patterns from Pinzon's flannel, yarn-dyed flannel, and velvet bedding for a layered look with an ultra-soft feel.
Fabric Definition Flannel: Flannel fabrics are noted for their fuzzy softness, warmth, and durability, and they can be dyed or printed. Thought to have been popularized in Wales in the 17th century, flannel was an all-wool fabric made of woolen or worsted yarns, with a brushed surface and a soft napped finish obscuring its weave. Flannel may be plain woven or twill woven and, today, most flannel fabrics are made of cotton fibers or synthetic rayon fibers that are slightly napped on both sides to resemble the old woolen or worsted yarn weaves. A wide range of flannel weights and textures is available. The fabric weight and quality of the napping affect the warmth and softness of the fabric. Many people prefer flannel bedding during the cold, winter months, but some flannel weights are appropriate in breathability and comfort all year long.
History of the Region Portugal's major textile factories are located in Guimaraes. Guimaraes is known as the "cradle" or "birth city" of Portugal, since it is home to the castle of Portugal's first king. As one of the country's most historic cities with well-preserved monuments, it is a popular tourist attraction. Among other sites to see are two squares with outdoor cafes and balconied houses, called Praça de Santiago and Largo da Oliveira. At Largo da Oliveira are the old Town Hall and the Church of Nossa Senhora da Oliveira, with a Gothic shrine erected in 1340 standing before it. There are many legends about its origins, but a popular story says it marks the spot where Wamba, elected king of the Visigoths, refused his title and drove a pole into the ground swearing that he would not reign until it blossomed, and it sprouted immediately. Guimaraes hosts an annual 3-day festival of medieval art and costume in the first week of August, which dates from the middle of the 15th century and includes a torchlight procession and a medieval parade. Not only renowned for textiles and historical sites, Guimaraes is in the heart of the "Vinho Verde" region, so called for its locally produced fresh, young "green wines."

I agree on the color - it is definitely "cream & black" - not crisp white. Also, beware the bed skirt is a velvet/cotton block pattern - still all black but definitely wasn't what I expected.The look is awesome, I paired it with black sheets which I think look better than cream sheets.Also, comforter is extremely stiff for my liking but I'm taking it to the dry cleaners to see if that may help a little.Overall, happy with my purchase - just not the best of descriptions online.
