Tipi canvas.

[cbax]

Does anybody know of a good supplier of cotton canvas. I want to make some tipis to have my wedding reception in this summer and although I have found one supplier I wanted to shop around a bit and find the best price.
Any ideas?

Hello,
there's been a few threads about tipi making and possible suppliers on here before, here's a few to get you started and i'm sure you'll turn up more if you run a search for canvas or various spellings of tipi or teepee etc.
