Yes, sheets and towels can be washed together, but it is usually not the best habit.
They have different textures, drying times, and lint behavior.
Can you wash sheets with towels?
TL;DR
Yes, but separate is better. Sheets and towels usually come out better in different loads.

Towels are heavy, linty, and rougher than sheets. They can cause extra friction and leave lint on smoother bedding.
Sheets can also wrap around towels in the washer or dryer, which may keep everything from cleaning or drying evenly.
For best results, wash sheets with other bedding and towels with other towels. If you must mix them, avoid overloading the machine.
You can mix sheets and towels in a pinch, but separate loads usually give cleaner and softer results.
