I see linen velvet pretty regularly on ebay--it looks quite lovely. Prices
range from $5/yd to more like $50 or $100, with the heavily striated stuff
that historical people like less going for more. As a generality, expect to
pay ~$15-$25/yd if you're willing to wait a few months whilst trolling. I
just did a quick search and got 27 hits, ~20 of which were for fabric. Mind
you, some of the linen velvets contain very little actual linen--apparently
it's like 'silk velvet'--so it's worth checking, though the sellers often
just don't know. I have seen some in the past that at least claimed to be
100%.
I've been meaning to get some for a while now, but always seem to spend the
money elsewhere first--if you get some, let us know what you think of it!
