A bolt of Kaufman's Ultra Sateen cotton, shiny on one side and dyes beautifully. Heavy, with a great drape. Not PFD, but I've never had a problem dyeing it without scouring first. Kaufman uses FedEx Ground as their standard shipping method; I found the price to be reasonable [under $12 for 8 lbs shipped LA to Philadelphia area] on my recent (January 2012) 1-bolt order. Prices per 15-yard bolt: $104.85 ($6.99 per yard.)
