If the only 2 choices I had were Kona and Moda, I'd go with Kona. The last few bolts of Moda Bella (in any color actually), felt different and really did a lot of raveling. Have decided to go with RJR cottons for my solids. Had the first few bolts show up today, so I compared them....definitely a difference between Moda and RJR, and I liked the RJR feel better.
Just my 2 cents worth
