<DIV>In 2003 I ordered closed brass rings from someone on the Merry
Rose. not sure if the person is still out there or still has the rings,
but here is the info from that time, including their e-mail. (I just dug
this up for Katharine Devereaux.)</DIV>

<BR><BR>Hancock has closed brass rings hiding in brown cardboard boxes on
shelves<BR>in the back of the decorator fabrics section. They may not be out
and<BR>visible; you may have to open some boxes to find them. There are
usually<BR>other ring-like items in the same set of shelves to give you a
hint,<BR>though. The Sterling Annex to Ponte Alto could probably be
persuaded to<BR>make a field trip sometime. ;) I use 'em on my Italian Ren
gowns. <BR><BR>Kerri, <BR><BR>>From my perspective, Hancock Fabrics tends
to carry slightly better stuff<BR>than JoAnn Fabrics (another prominent
fabric store in the area).<BR>Definitely worth a look. G Street is the
pinnacle of local fabric stores<BR>(which is why folks are ga-ga about a
sale there). And there are lots of<BR>online sources for wool and linen,
those highly sought-after period<BR>fabrics, as others have
mentioned.<BR><BR>And FYI, don't assume just the ladies know where the
fabric is. We have<BR>quite a number of accomplished sewing-types in the
Barony who are male!<BR>(And man, do they look good!) :)<BR><BR>Happy fabric
