Not good...
I meant, that the makers are (mostly) raising the new collections 10 - 15 cents above the cost of the groups that they released three months ago. And those, of course, were 10 - 15 cents more than the ones three months before that.

I would say we've seen increases across the board of about 50 cents / yard this year, and we haven't reached the end of the year yet.

Now, when hubby says "You have too much inventory!" I just tell him it is all an investment, and where else can I earn a 10% return on my money this year?
