I would second Wolfin as a good supplier of hard to find fabrics, especially wide fabrics as they were originally theatrical chandlers and sell materials to make back drops and the like. The other supplier we use for those kind of fabrics is Whaleys in Bradford. https://www.whaleys-bradford.ltd.uk/fabrics/section-p-wool-prepared-for-dyeing-printing?p=2 best Jo Joanne Hackett ACR FAIC Head of Textile and Fashion Conservation Victoria and Albert Museum Ocean Liners: Speed and Style Until 17 June 2018 at V&A South Kensington Sponsored by Viking Cruises Book now on vam.ac.uk/oceanliners See the exhibition for free if you join as a V&A Member vam.ac.uk/members Century of the Child: Nordic Design for Children 1900 to Today Until 2nd September 2018 V&A Museum of Childhood, Bethnal Green Admission free Keep in touch Sign up for V&A e-newsletters vam.ac.uk/content/email/signup Become a fan on Facebook.com/VictoriaandAlbertMuseum Follow us on Twitter.com/V_and_A and instagram.com/vamuseum/ This message is intended solely for the use of the individual or organisation to whom it is addressed.

Does anyone know an address of a supplier where we can buy wool bunting? Preferable in Europe? I have been looking around to find a supplier but in vain.
