Despite the fact of its popularity, despite the 'tourists,' I have to
admit I love Mood. I've never gone in there without finding something
delightful, which I can't say about some of the other places in the
area. It's mainly because Mood seems to carry more than the usual amount
of natural fibre fabrics. Sometimes you have to ask for help finding
specific items.
I'm a $5/yd kind of person who likes to buy things on sale when I find
them and then figure out how to use them. But the prices at Mood are not
totally outrageous. For example, a fine silk taffeta was the same price
there as it was at Denver Fabrics online ($14/yd), and I nabbed a
beautiful semi-sheer cotton/silk blend there last year for $8/yd. That
was something I had been looking for in vain on online sites. The wools
are plentiful and, while not usually $5/yd at least you know when you
buy a worsted twill there you can see what quality you are getting. (As
you can tell I've been burned online by the "we say it's a worsted wool
twill but we really meant it's a cheapo tricotine.")

Same thing with Mood fabrics, well worth seeing
