White two-sided blend 60% cotton / 40% silk from Robert Kaufman. Kaufman uses FedEx Ground as their standard shipping method; I found the price to be reasonable [under $10 for 8 lbs shipped LA to Philadelphia area] on my recent (January 2012) 1-bolt order.The fabric will be shipped by FedEx directly from Los Angeles to your address. Price for a 12-yard bolt: $142.68 ($11.89 per yard.)
