When I ordered these - I was concerned about colors bleeding - and about them getting lint fuzz stuck all over them when washed and dried - so I immediately washed and dried them - they turned out PERFECT.  Good quality for the price - and the colors are vibrant, which is good for around the pool.  Great towels for the price - wish they were a tad larger - but they will work great for Kids!  Long enough to wrap around an adult - yet short enough that kids wont trip over the towel when wrapping it around themselves
