[MR] Wool source

[L E Storey]

Greetings!

B Black and Sons has other weights of wool available -- some of which
do not show up on their site selections.  I recommend emailing or
calling Andrew Volk -- I have worked with him a few times, and am
consistently happy with the swatch selections (free!) he has sent.
They also carry linen and silks from my understanding.

I can also recommend Renaissance Fabrics, owned and operated by a West
Kingdom Laurel -- http://www.renaissancefabrics.net/  NOTE: she does
carry some blends, so be careful to read the content description.

Happy hunting!
