I was at a LQS yesterday and they had overdyed cotton velveteen for:

$9.75 for a piece approximately 10 x 15 inches.

It was a rather coarsely woven velveteen, at that.

Apparently, the hand overdying made it so expensive.

The colors were muted fall colors - rust, olive green, brown - -

The pieces were torn -

I figure someone could get approximately 16 pieces from a 2 yard piece - Which would come to $156.00. or $78.00 per yard.

Guess I'll go look at that box of velveteen garments and start deconstructing!
