Kaufman is the manufacturer of the Kona solids we are talking about. However, I think much confusion arises because there is another manufacturer of fabric that goes by the name of Kona Bay. Kona Bay solids are not the same as Kaufman Kona solids. It's been a long time since I shopped in JoAnn's, but it seems to me that they used to carry Kona Bay solids more so than Kaufman Kona solids.
