Bill, may I just quibble about acrylic's being comfortable for summer?

In my conditions (high humidity), acrylic does not breathe nearly so well as wool or good PV. It's high summer here in the Auld South, so I'm very conscious of that consideration. It might be different if the humidity were 20 percent, but here it's 40 percent as I write, and was over 80 when I got up this morning.

Marton Mills PV, on the other hand, is the bomb for our summer weather. I have a 16 ounce 4-yard under construction. I'll report back on that, one of these days.
