I love the sapphire blue color (have been looking for this exact color) but am so disappointed with the amount of lint these towels shed.  These pictures don’t show the true extent of it, but this is after the second washing and trying to shake all the balls off the towels to make them usable. Even after all of that, the towels still are leaving lint all over our white sink in the bathroom. The color does not make up for the mess so I will be donating these to the Goodwill. If you can get past the lint, the color is great and the towels are fluffy and soft.
