    Wally world fabric coming back

    That's right ladies and gentlemen. Bloomberg Business report this morning stated Walmart will be bringing back its sales on bolt fabric and fishing tackle.

    This made me so giddy this morning I ended up leaving the house a half hour early. No further information was given so I don't know when this is supposed to happen. So keep your eyes out and I will be doing the same.

    I see the sale on thread injectors going up in the next few months and the pictures of DIY hammocks multiplying. Personally I'm going buy needles today I'm so excited.

    Not to dump on anyone's parade... but this may refer to the sale of uncut 5 yard bolts. In my experience those were the dregs of the dregs. I never saw anything worth picking up and certainly no ripstop. It was mostly real cheap and sleazy cotton or cotton polyester blends for ugly kitchen curtains and the like. I hope I'm wrong.
    I may be slow... But I sure am gimpy.

    Wally world fabric coming back

    It was in the WSJ too. It's not the dregs either. They realized they made a strategic marketing mistake by alienating their customer base in an attempt to compete with upscale retailers. They're hoping to turn around nearly two years of declining sales performance.

    I saw this coming at my local wal-mart I go to with dad. They've got an area they cleared out and there were big packages of fixtures sitting there. I think that it's happening pretty soon at that one. *HOPES*

    In my area they never stopped carrying any of that stuff. But they never had nylon.

    sometimes it helps if you ask for 'kite' fabric, instead of nylon or ripstop. often the bolts are not marked as to content.

    I mostly shop in the DFW (TX) area...
    but she was the one who called it 'kite' fabric, so pass it on!
    ('oh, that stuff! I get a few requests for kite or flag fabric, so that's what it is called")
    near as I can remember, it's been a while...
