[MR] Wool source

[Katharine Devereaux]

One thing about the BBlack & Sons wools, I do not recommend this wool for 
full hosen or anything else where it will be put under a lot of pressure - 
its a wonderfully soft wool and might break at that point. If the pressure 
points are lined in linen, you shouldn't have any issues.

For dresses and gowns - beautiful fabric!

The direct link for their specials are 
http://www.bblackandsons.com/store/store_specials.html.

Thanks!

Katharine
