A friend of mine calls these fabrics "strokers" you get them out and stroke them, hang them up and look at them, fold and put away and in a few days, take them out and stroke them again. I actually have one "stroker" I actually paid $20 a yard for it. It is just beautiful and hand dyed. Believe me it is the ONLY yard of fabric I will ever have that costs that. I've enjoyed stroking it for almost 10 years. May just take it with me when I die--grin.
