I wish they were going to bring in some more classic and natural fabrics but I'm afraid that they'll assume since things aren't moving people aren't sewing and not realize it is just because people don't want what they have Yes, I'm afraid that is a lost cause. When the mega-JoAnn's near us opened a few years ago, they had wonderful silks (not just dupioni) and Italian wools. I bought several pieces at various times, but eventually that whole section was closed out--did score one piece of silk when it went on clearance. BUT, I'm sure the reason it was all closed out is that most people just didn't buy it. And I must admit, most of what I bought was with the 40% or 50% off coupon. If it doesn't make money, there is no point in their giving it shelf space. On a brighter note, though, that JoAnn's, in with the brightly-colored and modern-printed and embroidered linens, does have a bolt of cotton/linen blend handkerchief weight. I was tempted, but I stocked up on linen in New York last year, so really couldn't justify buying it right now.
