Several reviews say these towels bleed, but many more sing their praises and don't mention it. Do some colors tend to bleed more than others?

I have experienced no problems whatsoever with the SportLite Rat Towel. Great product. Mine is blue.

I have the orange, the blue, the lime and the other green one, none of them have bleed so maybe it's the way they washed them, I haven't had any trouble at all

I have a lime-colored towel and did not have any bleeding issues. It's a great product.

In the past I wrote a review. I ordered these towels about a year ago and they were more than marvelous. Because of this I ordered more of them for my daughter and daughter-in-laws for Mother's Day this past May. I ordered the SAME towels from the SAME company and they were awful. They were very crinckly. Unless they've changed back to the original towels, It would be difficult to embroider on them.

Hello Auntie Ane's Attic, Currently we do not have these towels available in any other colors. We have looked into adding other colors. Which colors would you like to see us carry? Thank you for your question Stephen Founder, GCC

I can't say for sure, but I have used them and washed them and I don't see any stains on them so far. At this price, It might be worthwhile to try a dozen and see how it works.

I have a green and it does not bleed. Although, I have not tested it, I am quite sure that other colors wouldn't bleed as well.

Yes. I run them in the delicate cycle. I love these towels. They're super light weight and although they feel really wet after drying yourself off, they dry out really fast when you hang them.

I purchased a blue one. It did bleed BUT I FIXED IT. Purchased 2 boxes of Rit dye remover from craft store. Used stove top method, boiled for 30 minutes. Rinsed, washed and repeated with the second box. NO MORE BLEEDING. Even when washed with a whites. The towel is still blue, the whites are pure white. Towel still works great.

We have not had any problems with the color bleeding. It is a nice soft fabric that has been quite durable.

never had this experience. I've laundered them a few times, and I have an upright high efficiency machine, which tends to be rougher on everything, but I haven't noticed any issues with these towels.

The colors have not bled at all after several washings. I got the duvet cover which is easy to take off and put on my comforter. It is very large though so I may end up getting a California king size comforter to fill up extra space.

Yes I believbe they are. I have not had any problems with mine, and with my many medical issues, I have not had any new issues, and the towel has worked out far better then I ever thought possible. Hope this helped.

I bought them for their absorbency and workhorse quality. For show? Perhaps if they were freshly washed. I don't do much for show so can't really comment.

No problem with the color bleeding. Just be careful this cloth is rough and may stick or pull on nylon fabric. Smooth on the skin but not good with other fabrics. I wash mine by hand after each use and air dry.

Well, yes, and no. I found these towels great for embroidery! They washed well, no ironing needed!! They took transfer well, and were so long, that I was able to cut a couple in half to use. I thoroughly enjoyed embroidering these, and it seemed to go fast! But these towels aren't vintage in any way, and are a nice crisp white. You could have a lot of fun altering these to look more vintage, so,....enjoy !!!

The Pinzons I got were not plum, but a chocolate brown. As for the brown, it is glorious! And with several washings it has remained so. I recommend these towels for a lot of reasons, and I think the plum could be fabulous (in every way that word implies)!

Yes. I like them very well. A great deal for the money. One reason that towels lose their absorbency, is due to fabric softener, which coats the towels and they are no longer absorbent. If you stay away from the fabric softener, they will last a long time.
