I love all the cheerfull Ulster Weavers producs and have four aprons and three sets of oven gloves. After washing they come out beautifully. I am very happy with those, five stars. Recently I have bought a lot of tea towels. After one washing on 30 Celcius they have already lost a lot of colour. I can give no more than 2,5 stars for those because of that reason. Emails about this with pictures showing a washed and an unwashed teatowel with big difference in colour, have not yet been answered. ( maybe because of busy christmastime?) Anyway, for this price, and since the lovely patterns are the main reason why I buy Ulster Weavers and not a cheaper product, this is a bit disappointing.
