I am so glad I gave these towels a try. They are perfect. They are not too bulky, dry well, don't deform when drying, barely any lint. They are sown nicely, there are no strings. I like simple and elegant woven lines that make the towel look more modern. I am very pleasantly surprised with the quality of these towels. I washed them before use and was a little concerned at how much towel fluff was in the lint trap of the dryer, but they're just as soft and fluffy as they felt in the store! Great absorbency. I will absolutely purchase more of these when the time comes for new towels!
