Anyway, the only reason I did it is because I cant find Chocolate Kona at any store in my area and I wanted to see if it is the Right color before I buy a large quanity. Oh..also I posted last night about my Kona from Joanns feeling like the Robert Kauffman Kona I got from LQS (different colors one light). well they felt the same.... However when I took the Chocolate Kona (from Joanns) and felt it up against espresso RK Kona... the RK Kona was Alot thicker... Do you think the color has anything to do with it ?? I wouldnt think so but who knows...
Congrats on your first online purchase. Fabric Shack is awesome. If you ever are planning a trip to Waynesville, you can make an online order and specify in the "special comments/notes" section on checkout that you would like to pick up in the store, they'll have it waiting for you. My mom and I have done that before. They don't always carry the same stuff in the store and online, which is why we do it. They are great about shipping out quickly.
My mom's cousin and his family own the store. Last time (or maybe 2 times ago), I got to see the warehouse where all the online stuff and that place is packed, but very orderly. I even helped him carry a handful of the $3.00 fabric over to store for him :-).
