Is it me or has cotton and cotton blend batting really taken a jump in price over the last several months? I expect an increase, but not a 40% or more increase in a 6 month time. It really has taken a jump since the beginning of the summer. Could it be the trade war/tariffs?
All I know is our quilt group uses a cotton blend for our charity quilts(except for world relief) and if the price keeps going up, we may need to switch to polyester batting just to be better stewards with our limited funds. We only have a certain amt. of funds to use on batting per year.
Why do you think the price has seen a significant jump--supply and demand or trade and tariffs? Inquiring minds want to know.
