These towels are large, plush and perfect. They did lose a lot of lint the first several washes, but they are actually more fluffy now, if that is possible, and lose very little lint as time has gone by. I ordered the platinum and I absolutely love the color. It's  a silvery gray with a purplish hue to it. They wash great, they dry in a normal dryer cycle and even when hanging on the towel bar after a shower they are dry by the next morning.
