In addition to the regular Kona Cotton Solids, Kaufman also makes a more tightly woven double-dyed black...Kona Premium Jet Black (there's also a Kona Premium Ultra White). They do cost slightly more than the regular Kona solids.

That is Kona, not Kaufman Kona, right?

I buy kona black and snow by the bolt when Hancocks of Paducah has free shipping. If you buy 15 yards (size of bolt) you get additional discount.

It's confusing, I think, because of the Kona Bay brand of fabrics. Kona Bay is a different manufacturer than Kaufman.
From what I have read elsewhere, I think that fabrics simply labeled Kona or Kona Bay cannot be assumed to be Kaufman Kona fabrics. For me, I just always look for Kaufman on the bolt or in the description. I seldom shop for solid colors, so have not run across the non-Kaufman Kona so far. |

Im so confused with the Kona name. There is Kona fabric at Joann's, Kaufman Kona Bay, and what else?

When I have used or needed a solid black, I use the Amish black from Keepsake Quilting. I have never had any problems with it bleeding or fading. I buy it 10 to 20 yards at a time. Just depends on what I need it for.
I like to get it from the same bolt/lot whenever possible. |
Thank you everyone for your input. It is nice to hear from those with experience.

Moda black is consistent and a very nice black.
