Here's a link to organic cotton thread: http://www.nearseanaturals.com/browse.php?category=45

What about no tag inside? I notice many tee shirts now have silk screened size/laundry/material labels directly on the product. Silk screening is a relativly simple process one you have the screens and you should be able to find a screen maker in El Salvador. Use an eco freindly ink.

What about a chat with Jerry at Stillwater? He must have had many of the same problms when he started up and you really would not be competione.

This project seems to be too good to just let go!

Thanks for the link BeeDee. Now to find a wholesaler.

The mention that "there's no sustainable thread available" is near to a direct quote from my fabric wholesale supplier. I think what that means is that SHE DOESN"T KNOW OF ANY.

Big difference. Also, a lesson on how much to trust the word of my wholesaler.
