After washing, twice, and drying, it appears that it only increased by just over 3 yards Saw a recommendation to run denims through 3 times on prewashing to avoid shrinkage after construction. So, maybe after I put this in for a third wash, my stash will have only increased about 2.5 yards The fabric also shrunk in the width. I thought the percentage represented the sales price, not how much would come off the fabric when I washed it -- Edited on 11/30/11 4:57 PM -- ------ I have no idea what Apple thought I was saying so be a Peach and credit anything bizarre to auto correct.

(and 25 spools of cotton thread...I think I can only use that for quilting though) I clearly have a problem... I guess the only good thing is that the average cost per yard was under $3... -- Edited on 11/30/11 12:44 PM --

Liz in Cville   Advanced Beginner VA Member since 5/28/11 Posts: 272	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 11/30/11 1:28 PM 3 yards. Guess last week I was more of an obsessive buyer than a compulsive one I missed out on the cobalt wool I wanted from Fabricmart because I hesitated too long. Guess I knew I didn't really need it. Nonetheless, I've filled 3 large tubs (and then some) with fabric since I started stashing in the spring! DH says I have enough now, and it's time to get sewing. ------ Twitter: @SewKnitStash

Good for you for sticking to it! I'm just getting back into apparel sewing, so I don't have much of a stash right now. I have lots of knits, but these were mostly non-knits. And I have projects in mind for the most part...
