The last time I went looking for white material and saw the above, I asked the salesclerk if she thought the fabric was 100% cotton and she said she didn't know. It felt really stiff, as if it had a lot of sizing on it. I liked the colors and would have bought a 5 yard cut (well a lot of 5 yard cuts, I would have shared with a friend lol) but did not want it if it was not 100% cotton. It says on the end that it is from unknown origin and unknown content. A lady wanted to buy 2 yards but was told she had to purchase the entire 5 yards and she declined it and left.

Another funny thing about this was the salesclerk told me someone asked her to measure it to make sure it was 5 yards and the clerk told her of course it was, it says 5 and the company wouldn't mark it as 5 if it wasn't. :roll:
