Where to buy fabric

[Kilted Taper]

Gilmore-

That's a shame that you have had such bad experience. I'd have to say that mine has been the complete opposite. I too have had three purchases via eBay for wool, from 2 sellers (both in the UK). Fabric has been as advertised and even more beautiful in person than on the computer. Never once had to pay customs charges, and shipping was quite reasonable considering the weight of the packages. I guess it's like any eBay acution however, and the buyer should do their research and take caution.


katmills2005:
If eBay isn't an option, you may also want to keep an eye on The Scottish Weaver and their remnants page.

you might also try www.hamiltondrygoods.com they have some wool blends and they say they have some gordon?

Also,

Do you want/must have worsted wool?

Or will "saxony"/fuzzy normal wool be OK?

The second is MUCH cheaper, but doesn't look as good in a kilt-esque garment, or wear as well. It makes a HUGR difference on where you can/want to get fabric.

In your area, I'd also contact Mary Jo's up in Gastonia, NC and see if they have anything (only applies to "fuzzy wool").

I still say that PV is a good option.
