At this price point I consider this item an investment, and I’m happy to pay for quality materials and production processes. I’ve had this for a few months and washed it at least 10 times now. Unfortunately, the quantity of lint stuck to it after a wash is still the size of a tennis ball. Due to this and the fibers still being rough, I haven’t been able to use it the way I had intended. I’ve loved my other cultivar linen pieces. This unfortunately hasn’t been as expected I wouldn’t purchase again.
