(Be still, my heart.)

Moda Bella currently comes in 157 colors, not 300. Kona comes in 221. The thread count is the same,
but Moda uses thinner thread so the fabric is not as coarse as Kona.
Thinner thread, imho, may lead to trouble in years to come.

The price for Bella at Hancock's of Paducah is 4.78 per yard for 1-14.5 yards and 4.18 per yard if you buy a bolt
(15 yds) or more. They carry 112 colors.
It has dropped below the price of Kona, at least at HoP, which is surprising.
