peer agreement (net): +1prevent the fibers from creating excessive lint Explanation: This site says: The second complaint is that the towel creates excessive lint. Microfiber lint is caused by towels with a high pile or a broad weave using a fiber split that’s inappropriate. The high pile or loose weave allow the fibers to break off, creating lint. Might be a bit wordy, but LINT is the word you want. Reference: http://www.autopia-carcare.com/inf-microfiber.html |

linting Explanation: gets around the problem of whether it creates or attracts lint ... though I think the material itself would create lint/pill from being "roughed up" by other materials |
