On A Quest for color!

In Search of the Best Solids


 On the left is Riley Blake's Confetti, by Lori Holt. The fabric on the right is the American Made Brand by Clothworks.
 
 I am judging only the density of the weave of the fabric.
 It is obvious the American Made Brand is a closer weave,
 which means less fraying, and better "wearing."
 
As to judging color in this test - the Confetti solids are a range of pastels,
 while the American Made Brand was a sampling of intense colors. Apples to Oranges!
 
 However, comparing the two sources in the color "Black," 
American Made was the winner for deep, rich color hands down.
 
I do like that Riley Blake offers a color card - our solids are like a box of crayons - even if we don't buy them all, we want to see what is available. When ordering online, it helps to have all the information you can get to make good decisions.
