My LQS warned us last fall we would see a lot higher prices on the new stuff. She has seen her prices soar as well as her shipping prices. The other day UPS dropped a bolt of fabric and the invoice has shipping at $10. That is a dollar per yard she has to pass on to us to just cover her shipping costs.
The manufacturers are also becoming more and more difficult to deal with. If you don't preorder a line don't count on getting it. We did the Thimbleberries BOM last year and were short a bolt of one of the fabrics. It kept showing up as backordered and when she finally called they said oh sorry we aren't reprinting that. What I preordred fabric for 15 kits she says and didn't get that. It was a mess to say the least.
