Mine have faded a little over the years, but they're still plenty bright. Some brands fade more than others - look for yarn-dyed, not printed. I dry them outdoors, which means they'll fade more than if I'd dried them indoors - it's just too humid where I live to dry anything indoors when it's not forced-air heating season (plus the solar UV helps eliminate odors). They certainly haven't faded any faster than any other colors. Still so bright they hurt my eyes if I look at them in direct sunlight.
Anyway it's wearing, washing and drying that fades garments, not sitting in a dark drawer! No reason at all not to stock up.
