To them it is just a solid color that looks the same. I have also picked up bolts of fabric at JoAnne that were marked Kona and could tell in a second it was not Kona cotten by Kaufman.
That's what worries me too. I know that someone from Kaufmann posted (here?) that they don't make different grades of Kona and the stuff at Joann's is the real deal but I wonder too, if someone might have put some on the wrong bolt.
