I love these towels!  The color is beautiful.  I washed them per the directions, and yes, my lint trap was full.  BUT...they are soft and so absorbent.  I didn't need to look for a bath sheet, which I usually insist on, because these wrap around me just perfectly.  And I'm not a thin person.  I would highly recommend these.  I once spent a bunch of money on high-end towels that I had researched and they have not held up well at all.  You will love these.
