Towels Leaving Lint On Your Body

I bought a housecoat for my mother and some fleece throws for nieces/nephews at Christmas a few years back and they did the same thing. I read the label later and it said to wash in cold water. Don't know if that was the problem or not but I threw out my son's after about 6 washings and the thing shed all over the carpets all the time. This is what we get when we buy from China, great quality!

I agree with one of the archived posts, you need to use the dryer to pull off the loose lint. They are not poor quality they are good quality if they are making so much fluff.
There is also an issue with their being black as you are probably noticing the lint more than you might with other colours.
The lint will go away if you can stand the wait.

I recently bought some rather expensive dark towels. Even after washing them twice, and not using fabric softener, they leave their lint on my body. Is there anything I can do to stop this?

Thank you,

Not sure, but I think this will stop after a few more washings. Especially since they sound like they are well-made towels. (03/29/2006)

Be sure to put them in the dryer. They should be fine. They'll absorb more water if you don't use fabric softener. (03/30/2006)

Keep a piece of netting (tulle?) in your dryer. I have been using the same piece for over a year now and it works wonders keeping lint off of clothes. (05/28/2006)

I bought 3 towels from Target almost 3 weeks ago or so. I have washed them several times since I've bought them.
