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.

We have sourced wool "nun's veiling" from Wolfin Textiles in the UK, a plain weave with 18-20 threads/cm (z twist yarns), 137 cm wide, GBP 14.50/m. Wolfin's will also send free sample swatches.
Good luck!

Subject: Bunting fabric
Good morning to you all,
At the moment our textile department is working on a number of flags consisting of wool bunting (British colours). 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.
With best regards,
