    I have some of the fabric from the first run, and it is gorgeous. Not sure what questions you are having, but I'm certain you will be thoroughly pleased with the fabric. It is outstanding.

    I'm kind of going to be blunt, here...

    From what I understand, communicating with Paul Henry, there were enough "expressions of interest" for a second run of as much as, maybe 90 yards again. However, as the time approached to stop "talking on the internet" and start putting actual, real money on the actual, real barrel, a significant number of those people have suddenly discovered that gosh, maybe they're not THAT interested after all.

    This sucks. I've seen it happen before, and I always assume that somewhere between 1/3rd and 1/2 of the "enthusiasm" will turn out to be hot air and nothing more. That's why I was so blown away by how big the first run was. Nearly everybody who "talked big" actually wrote a check.

    If you want this stuff, it's time to quit talking and write the bluidy check. The odds are significant that you will not have another chance unless you buy a custom short-yardage run, all by yourself.

    Thanks you. I know they did the first weaving but I just heard their double width looms were down and they weren't weaving any double width material.

    I have no knowledge one way or another, on the condition of the looms, I am afraid.
