    Good Afternoon,
    Most of our fabric Collections are made in Korea and our Wide 108” fabric is made in Pakistan.

    Thanks for your interest in our Fabric Collections.

    That's what I've been saying most of the time since I arrived for the winter! I'm wearing a wool sweater and wool socks today. It was 39 degrees yesterday. Now I know it's colder in most of the rest of the country, but this is ARIZONA for crying out loud!

    it's possible that the fabric was made in the US, but a long time ago.
    David's Textiles used to make their fabrics here, but don't any longer as far as i can tell.
    you can still find them here and there that have been on shelves or in the warehouse that long.

    that said, i'm closing this thread.
    not everybody in the community lives here in the US.

    beside which, there are good and not-so-good products made all around the world.
    i'm sure our international friends would also like to find and buy things manufactured where they live, too.
