I scored big time on a 40 yd. bolt of W&N around February or March when I had a 70% off batting by the yard coupon on the Joann app, plus an additional rebate on Ibotta for 10% off any purchase.
I use W&N because my kids prefer all natural fibers. I only find the flecks to be a problem if I am using a really thin light fabric, so now I am more careful when I buy my whites/lights and make sure to get a decent quality.
