There's no such thing as "Kaufman Kona Bay". Robert Kaufman Fabrics is one company and they make Kona Cotton Solids. Kona Bay Fabrics is another company and they make primarily asian fabrics, but they also have a few solids. There is some dispute as to whether the 'Kona' sold at some JoAnn's stores is actually Kaufman Kona or not. When in doubt, it's best to make sure the Kaufman name is on the end of the bolt. The word Kona, when not trademarked, refers to a place...like Bali, Paris, or Kalamazoo. Clear as mud, right?
