Why would it be illegal? I've never heard of such a thing...(that it is illegal to raise prices). I certainly hope the government isn't telling stores how to price things! Yikes.

Indeed, prices when up every where. Go to your LQS, talk about sticker shock. I sure hope it doesn't drive our LQS out of business.

DITTO!

My husband works at a refinery, so paying a bit more for fabric is "oh well, if you must dear, you must, have fun" For years I've been saying it's cheaper than therapy! And any fabric stored along an outside wall is 'insulation'
