Where to buy towels that don't shed?

I've been living in the UK on and off since late 2020 - and still, somehow, I have yet to find towels that don't shed everywhere. All my current ones are form ASDA (George Home) and Primark - which yes, I know it's a cheap brand, but I've brought from them back in my home country and never had this issue. I also remember buying one from Amazon too, but it turned out to be an ultra soft bath sheet, which I hate because I somehow feel wetter after using them.

I'm sure I've tried other brands before, I just don't remember which.

I was recommended John Lewis and TK Maxx next, but I'm trying to get as much information before commiting because british towels are remarkably expensive. Upon browsing the reviews on their website, a lot of John Lewis' towels actually seem to shed. Some models and colors seemingly don't, but it seems like a bit of a gamble.

I've also heard good things about Tesco's towels, but it's hard to believe it given I was told the same about ASDA's.

Does anyone have any recommendations?
