I actually have some Northern Nights towels I bought
years ago and they're holding up very well.
I don't know if they even have towels now.

I purchased new towels for guest bath recently for my Thanksgiving guests. They are Wamsutta brand from Bed, Bath & Beyond. I washed and dried them two times and my dryer filter was filled to brimming with lint or whatever the substance is that comes off them.

Does anybody have a recommendation for a brand of towel that you like? I would like to find some without so much lint.

I found this usually only happens after the first two or three washings, then it's through linting.

I agree with rec's the ladies left below if you want to try a different brand.

Threshold brand from Target. Big bath towels, little linting, very absobent. Just had my brother and sister-in-law for a week and my brother (who is VERY picky) remarked on them. I like the white ones (with white stripes) so I can use bleach.

Thank you all so much for your recommendations. I really appreciate your taking the time to respond. Happy Thanksgiving!

Hotel brand from Macy's. They are luxuriously thick, wash well, and feel so soft.

About a month ago, I read everything I could find on luxury towels. Time after time, the Hotel line from Macy's came in #1, or tied some with Pottery Barn towels. I ended up ordering the Hotel towels from Macy's since I got them on a good sale and with free shipping, and I was not disappointed one bit. They're the best towels I've ever owned.

Cotton towels will shed this lint the first few times they are washed. It's ok. I put the lint outside because the birds love to gather it up for their nests!

My favorite is Ralph Lauren that I get at Marshalls. They last forever!

BTW, about three years ago, I purchased J.C. Penney's quick dry bath towels. They were a lovely color, soft, dry quickly in the dryer, and very inexpensive. I was so disappointed with these towels. They didn't absorb well at all, and in no time, they were so thin, rough, and scratchy.

Believe it or not, I bought some wonderful towels in WalMart. The brand name is 1888 MILLS and they state that they are proudly made in the USA since 1888. They are thick and fluffy, 100% pima cotton. I have washed them twice and they shed very little and edges did not shrink unlike some towels.
