I bought these bath, hand, and mat towels in Everglade, which is a beautiful deep teal color. After first washing, they came out of the machine covered in huge gobs of lint. Being brand new, I figured the dryer would collect this lint. Nope. I washed them 2 more times. With each washing there was zero improvement. I threw them in the dryer and now I have a bunch of towels that appear 10 years old, full of lint shreds and pills. Funny thing is- I also purchase the cheaper Everyday Essential towels. Now, those washed beautifully and came out lint and pill free.
