I love their extra-wide flannel batiks and use them whenever I can. They're probably one of the highest-quality flannels I've seen, but they do require several pre-washes and a lot of Color Catchers. A yard may be twice the price of a regular width yard, but remember that they're more than twice the width of a regular yard, too, so it's actually a better deal. I would be VERY sorry to see them discontinue their extra-wides.
