I search far and wide for, natural and easy care for, fabrics.  I am on line all the time searching.  I have drooled over your fabrics sometimes daily for months now.  Your fabrics are all fresh and current and very stylish.  I am very impressed with your fabrics and when I get good enough at my own designs and patternmaking, I intend to purchase whatever I want from your store.  You are very inspiring and so motivating.   You have given me the courage to attempt many difficult projects and move out of my comfort zone.  I always come back to your videos when I waver with fear and frustration.  Thank you a thousand times.   Jnetti

I think the issue is people confuse how the fabric is woven or knit versus the content. That is why you can have 100% cotton knit.

Peggy, my daughter is a very Busty gal. She is wearing a 44 EEE and is likely a J or K cup, but she won't go get proper fittings. She is also larger in the tummy, but her breasts are still bigger, and so has a defined waist, and hips are similar sized, around the 44 mark. How can these shawls fit her?

Thanks for the explanation. So the processing make the threads stretch not the added fiber content. Now I understand.

For cotton content, I think the confusion lies in fabrics described as “100% Cotton STRETCH-WOVEN” as opposed to “knits” which I assume stretch whether 100% cotton or some blend. So PEGGY, how can WOVEN fabric have “stretch?
