Where to get plain brown wool

[Hawkeye The Noo]

I have not been to the forum for about 6 months due to the hastles with logging in, but now am looking to find some plain brown wool of a fairly tight weave and descent thickness.

Think medieval friar and you will know what I am looking for as to plainness and thickness.

Any help in locating a supplier would be appreciated.

cheers

Bernie the Bolt

or Trader Ali
http://www.hertsfabrics.co.uk/

or, if you're prepared to take a light mink brown wool, Fabric Bazaar in London Road, Glasgow.

Should cost between £5 and £14 a metre.....sometimes Mazur at Fabric Bazaar charges a bit less.

cheers,
Toddy

I just bought some today from my local market stall. Trouble is, when it's gone it's gone as he's not doing any more like it.

It's the brown reel in the middle, weighs in at 1.6kg. I'm going to use it on the warp weighted loom I'm making. (The other white wool is hand spun undyed for other projects).

Edit: Just seen Toddy's post. I thought you were after wool rather than fabric, ready woven.
