Is there any sort of pilling or scratchiness after they are washed a few times?

No scratchines at all ever. Only consistently super soft. Some pilling from use does happen...

No, they stay super soft. Maybe a little pilling, but these are the only sheets I use year-round. Highly recommend!

No, these have stayed wonderfully soft after several washes so far. Good buy!

I've had mine for over 3 years, many many washings, and not one pill. I do get dryer lint, but it doesn't seem to affect the wonderful quality. Maybe they are a bit thinner; I'm going to order another set and compare!

I found them to be fine after washing. I washed them with a regular load of laundry (front load) with the same methods and detergents regularly used.Nothing feels as good as when you first get them, but I was definitely satisfied with the product following the washing.Good Luck.Leon

I put them in the washer and have put them in the dryer and it doesn't seem to bother them. The only thing is that the edges pick up lint from the dryer. They are invincible!

I have not had this problem. I have not done anything special to wash them, although my washer does have a "sheets" cycle. However, I have not had them for very long.

Yes.absolutely! They should be washed according to the directions ie. cold gentle..dry medium.I wash delicate cycle.I have had these sheets since Sept.2013. They still look great and have held up well.Top sheet does wrinkle on outside edges..oh well! Still a great set at a great price!

Yes they are washable, and I have not had any issues with them after washing. Just hang them to dry (overnight should be fine) and they are ready to use again!

I have washed these sheets twice and so far they look like new, no pilling and still very soft.

I don't really know what causes "pilling". I do agree that it is an annoying consequence of cheap and sometimes not so cheap sheets. It seems some of the micro fabrics seems to hold up better, but my choice is always 100% cotton high thread count. I have only washed these sheets twice, but they must be washed in cold water and when they come out of the dryer they look brand new. I bought on set to see how they hold up and have since bought another set. I guess it is a crap shoot these days, but these sheets are not all that expensive , they are holding up well and they are wonderfully soft. I hope this opinion helps you with your buying decision.

So far which i've been using them for 2 months but I've always heard that they get softer after every wash, and it is true thus far! I like mine better now that they've been washed more :)

It's on a guest bed & has been washed only twice. No problems. It doesn't feel like material that would pill. The thread count translates to smoothness. It's sophisticated looking & feels wonderful. I wash it on a delicate cycle and dry until just Most wrinkles have come out easily.

I have this in white - I have not seen any pilling. I have pets that sleep on the bed, so I wash this every week through the cold season. I did notice a little more lint in the dryer filter the first few times, but now it is normal amount for flannel. I love this set so much I have been looking at the printed flannel duvet covers from this company.

I washed it once and the top is still scratchy but the under side is soft. I bought egyptian sheets and keep the top kind of folded over the top part so I don't feel the scratchy part. The Really are beautiful tho. I hope this helped

Mine seems to have washed ok, don't know how it will hold up under multiple washings but seems to be ok after a few. Hand washing doesn't take any time at all.

I have washed them several times and they don't show any wear. They are not very soft to start with, and probably for this reason they will probably last more than most sheets. I bought for my daughter several sheet sets of much softer cotton and now they start showing wear after several washes - but not "Fairies". They seem to be durable, and they are 100% cotton while most sheets with cartoon prints come in polyester unfortunately... My 4 years old doesn't care much about thread count (they are not very soft to touch) and she loves them!

Yes. We've washed them a bunch of times in the dishwasher with no problems.
