Absolutely true. I bought what I thought was Robert Kaufman Kona and it frayed so bad, almost to the point of shredding, and was difficult to work with. I compared it to what I knew was Robert Kaufman Kona that I had in my stash and instantly I could tell the difference. I won't make that mistake again! Robert Kaufman brand is reasonably priced so I won't bother with the off Kona anymore.
