I washed the sheets and they had fuzz balls all over them. I dried them a little and then it was a windy day so I hung them on the line to finish drying and help get rid of the balls. When I was making up the beds I discovered a place about the size of a half dollar that has only threads going one way. I thought for what I paid for these sheets that they would be flawless. The only good thing is they are nice to sleep on. Mary Young
