so soft and comfortable. I wash these in a laundry bag so they do not get stretched out in the wash. I also lay flat to dry (or lay them over a towel on the shower rod to dry so they do not stretch or crease) and they hold up nicely. They would benefit from hand washing, should you be inspired to do that. They will get a little bit of pilling of the material as they are worn and washed often (and these are comfotable and so easy to pair with other things that I do use them often) I would buy these again.
