Really. I've got about 15 yards of rayon/linen blend. Has a *very* nice hand to it. Got it at Hancocks on the $2.00/yard table. :-) 10 yards of yellow, 5 of light green (or is it the other way around!) I stand corrected. I shouldn't have made that comment, I guess, as I haven't cruised the chain fabric aisles lately. When I did work at Hancock, poly/rayon was the thing, but that was a while ago. Last time I bought "linen", it was at a store in New York that only sold the real thing, and that was all they sold. However, I think I'm safe on the wrinkle part. I suspect that rayon is being used to blend for cost (it is a really cheap fiber), and, perhaps, for hand, as you point out. Rayon DOES drape well, and takes dyes well, but this also does mean it wrinkles.
