There's another thread somewhere here discussing the new "formulation" of Dual-Duty -- it's now 100% poly, not poly/cotton, so the problem you mention seems to have been solved. That said, at last Joanne's sale I bought enough of the "high-priced spread" at 50% off to match my next two major projects.
