The last set of towels I bought in a store was in 2016. In the last seven years, I've bought four or five towel sets, all in this general price range, and all with pretty much the same description of a luxurious, hotel-style towel. I've been initially disappointed in some I thought were thin (but ended up being soft, absorbent, fast drying and in the end quite satisfactory). Others were medium weight that I found a bit more of a better buy. Can't say any were outright crappy. But I read reviews (and compare percentages between products) to make purchasing decisions. I am absolutely thrilled with these towels. I got them today, and washed them twice in cold water per instructions. The first washing left a moderate amount of lint in the filter, the second much less. The first drying required me to empty the lint trap twice, and the second resulted in less lint. Do I expect these towels to continue to produce lint when I dry them? Yes. Most certainly. But it will be less each time and with each washing they will get softer. That's how cotton works. Every single online towel set I've bought has been linty in the dryer. No doubt some would say excessively so. But it doesn't bother me, particularly since my experience has been that this is the norm rather than the exception. In addition, these are heavy, thick towels. Definitely the most so I've ever bought in this price range. So quality of this towel far exceeds my expectations. The color is stunning. It's cranberry for sure, but with a touch of blue in it. Think merlot, which goes with warm and cool tones. I've got warm and cool burgundies and pinks in the bathroom I'm using these in and they look amazing. In my photos, the artwork has cool and warm pinks, and the blue laundry basket contrasts perfectly. My walls are pastel pink. Love, love, love these towels. Not sure I could be happier with them at this price point. Read more
I think this brand is top notch. I ordered this brand about 5 years ago in the burgundy color and they are still in great condition!! They wash well and are a bit linty in the dryer but not a major issue. Colors are nice and true. Yes - order these - they are among the best. Price is great too. Read more
Very soft with vibrant color. Does shed a bit even after washing. Read more
This is my second order for Cotton Craft towels, hand towels and washcloths. First, the towels: They are a nice, medium thick quality towel. I prefer towels not to be too thick and bulky. On a thickness scale of 1 to 10, these are an 8. I am especially pleased with the banding across the towels. After washing, the banding didn’t shrink up and pucker like so many other towels. I bought the burgundy ones and the color is a beautiful, rich burgundy. (I previously bought the navy blue ones and they are fantastic as well!). I didn’t notice any excess color bleeding in the washer; it was minimal. The towels stayed the same color as when I put them in to be washed. After drying, there were no strings hanging nor unraveling of edges. The lint in the dryer’s lint catcher was the normal, fine lint you see. I like that the tags are small so they don’t stick out too much. The hand towels: They matched the towels exactly. Like the towels above, the color is beautiful, the thickness is perfect, and they looked as beautiful going into the washer as they did when they came out of the dryer. I use my hand towels to dry off my hands and face after washing up. Nice and absorbent. Note that I don’t use fabric softener so my towels and such will remain absorbent. Now to the wash cloths: Their quality is like the towels and hand towels, so I won’t repeat that part of the review. I especially love how nicely my body wash lathers up well with the wash cloths. I get the washcloth wet, put on the body wash, put a little splash of water, and then lather up. They are a great size for me. They are larger than my outstretched hand but not so big that they’re flopping all over the shower, spraying soap and suds everywhere that you later have to scrub soap scum off the walls, climb on ladders to clean off the ceiling... well, you get the idea. 🙂 I definitely plan to buy this brand again. I couldn’t be more pleased! Read more
I was impressed with the quality of these towels. Excellent value for the money. I will buy these towels again. The ivory color is exactly what I was looking for. Read more
