Date: 11/12/12 9:37 AM would like some of that fabric too but they only have three colors for that price. Maybe later. ------

Date: 11/12/12 11:56 AM I bought some of it a while back and the piece I got turned out to be horribly and incorrectably off grain once it was washed and dried.
They did give me a refund. |

Date: 11/12/12 12:15 PM I got a piece in my mystery bundle a while back and mine was also off grain. It's also very static-y and quite thin. |

Date: 11/12/12 12:25 PM in my experience, fabric selling at $1.99/ yard has the quality of $1.99/ yard fabric.
Which may be adequate for one's purpose.  ------

Date: 11/12/12 1:04 PM I haven't done anything with mine, but I do have a piece of the poly/linen and the rayon/linen.
It's not bad for $2 per yard. The poly blend does seem to be more of a poly knit with random bits of rayon thread chucked into the thread every so often than a blend.
It is really thin. |

Date: 11/12/12 1:52 PM I got some nice linen blend at Hancock's in the spring, washed wonderfully and a good price, but now I see just the all-linen
there. You might check their Bargain racks which get in a little
of everything. I have better luck with them than JA's Redlines,
which are mostly useless and not markdowns. |

Date: 11/17/12 8:54 AM It isn't 1.99, but the BEA4618 Striped Jersey Knit Cream, Limeade, Orange at FM is a nice meaty knit with a very soft brushed side. Yum!
I had a piece of the linen knit, and it was thin and stuck to itself. This was ok for my non-garment purposes, but I don't think I'd really want to make a garment out of it. ------
mmmmm woooool |
