Man-o-man, you ladies are Great! I guess we can re-title this 50 shades of black, lol.
Another question about the Thousands of Bolts, darn it if they don't have 3 blacks that look the same but with different numbers. Any help on this? #1380, 1377, 1379.
That Amish black is talking to me..........

I have a call in to Keepsake to try and find out who makes the "Amish Black" they sell. Will relay what I find out.

i tend to buy kona mainly because it is a couple dollars less than some of the others around here- also i've never had it bleed or fade
i like a couple of the other blacks but generally if i'm using alot of it the kona is a more cost effective way to go. if i need a small amount for a certain project i may go ahead & spend more on one of the other (designer) blacks but the ones i have tried have bled & faded with time.

I bought Kona recently and one thing I can about it is that when I washed it, it didn't bleed ONE BIT. I wash in hot water and that color catcher was as white coming out as it was going in. I washed 3 yards.
I was VERY PLEASED with that cause the last black print that I used (a Northcott) continued to bleed after I sewed it to my quilt. Now I have black streaks on my yellow border I'm usually careful about checking the bleed, but I missed that one big time.
