EXCELLENT quality towels  Soft, Thick, Very absorbent. Wash nice and yes first time in dryer there was quite a bit of lint, but less there after. Few threads here and there. Nothing to fret about. All seems good and Im very happy with these towels. I got two sets and may get a couple more in different color. I highly recommend  these towels. The Bath towels are almost like bath sheets and extremely absorbent  5 stars
