Towel Recs?

[redheadk]

Hey girls, sorry I'm not really active anymore. We sort of hit a point where we're pretty much finished with the house and I'm just in baby prep mode (my username on The Nest was OUKatie).

Anyway, we're wanting to replace all of our towels. DH has requested a color this time. Any recs for nice plush towels that don't shrink too much at the band near the edge (or don't have a band near the edge) and don't fade too much?

My last set I bought at JCPenney. They are starting to need replaced this year, but I've had them for 5 years and wash after every use.

I asked this about a year ago and people suggested the Thomas O'Brien towels from Target and the JCPenney towels.

I bought both and returned both. The color of the JCPenney towels ran the first time I washed them. I even used vinegar as recommended, but it ran. So I returned them all.

Same issue with the Thomas O'Brien ones. However I didn't return all of them, because not every towel ran. We've had them for a year and the ends are already starting to fray.

I then purchased towels from Costco. The color did not run and for the most part I'm very happy with them, although the colors are very limited and it was a bitch to find towels in the giant bins that were of the same color skew. I would buy them again.
