Where do you buy your Oakshot? Kona has a great extended color palette to chose from, but I found them a bit harsh in texture. I did have a taste of the Peppered Cotton and I don't like them as much as Kaffe's shot cotton, maybe it's the texture, it's thicker and has a tendency to roll. In general, I am attracted to thinner and softer fabrics. Oh geez! You got me going here...:)Marysehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02000465859017119743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5111782212707964150.post-35581422142475951682014-04-05T08:35:02.000-04:002014-04-05T08:35:02.000-04:00hehe I like any solids that are cheap!

The triangle colors are so delightful…but speaking of that…I feel the same as you abt. Spring.

So far I've mostly only used Kona and have been pleased. I'd love to try some other manufacturers but there aren't any available locally and I just haven't yet ordered any online. I think that's the hard part about solids . . . finding them and know what they feel like.
