Moda did answer me that the thread count is high and that sometimes this causes fraying. I have remained loyal to the Kona brand since it never seems to give me any problems.
That explanation does not even sound logical; the higher the thread count, the more threads per square inch, which sould be a tighter weave. A looser weave creates more fraying than a tighter weave.
