I just ordered some. How exciting! And it has a higher thread count than some of the other solids and I've been looking for a better quality solid.

Don't forget this is Hancock's of Paducah not the Hancock's chain.

It doesn't say made in the USA it says made in America which could be South America.

I'm pretty sure it's made in USA. Just recently I came across their website where they talked about the materials being grown and made into cloth right here. It stuck in my mind that all they had available are solids -- and I really wish they'd do some marbles, tone-on-tone, or prints.
A quick search didn't bring up the site, but I think it was linked to from this website. Someone was laughing because they have an image that changes at the top of their home page, and one was of an old Singer-type machine stamped 'made in China'. Anyone else remember that? |
It says in the link provided that its grown in Arkansas and spun, dyed etc in SC.

My understanding is the fabric is made from American cotton. Fabric distributors have told me there is no mill in the US that can make cotton fabric but can print the cotton fabric. It's very confusing. Where is the mill located that takes the cotton and makes the fabric ready to be printed? I wish all our fabric was still made here.

I think that we need to take baby steps to get this done right. We shipped jobs overseas for decades and now they will FINALLY be slowly coming back !!!
