Kona White - Rough Hand at Hobby Lobby?
#1
I just bought a six yard cut of Kona white at Hobby Lobby, and I thought the hand felt a little rough at the store, but I thought it might be the sizing or something. I'm sensitive to the chemicals on fabric, so I couldn't handle it too much. Yesterday, my husband washed it twice, then dried it and it still feels kind of rough. If I remember correctly, my cut of Kona Snow from Joann seemed softer. Is there a difference in Kona between stores, or is it the color, or am I just imagining things?
We used fabric softener in the last wash.
Thanks all!

According to Kaufman they don't have any different quality for certain stores. I would hope that Hobby Lobby wouldn't wrap other stuff on a bolt but maybe that's what happened. Maybe a clueless employee's idea to recycle?

I think the Kona Snow is the premium muslin. Correct me here if I am wrong. I much prefer the hand of the Kona muslin to that of Kona Cotton. I think it is rough to the touch. I want my quilts to be cuddly, not rough. I know some like the Kona Cotton because it is thicker, but I just don't like it. Washing hasn't ever made it softer for me.
