[h-cost] Wool supplier?
Hello, I am looking for a good wool supplier - I mean the thick wool used for coats and such that you would mostly use for reenactment clothing like doublets, cloaks, hose etc. Ideally from Europe, but USA and other countries are also OK. I'm looking for somebody who would sell 50-100 meters for good prices, so either a wholesaler or a manufacturer. All wool fabric factories closed in my country so now I have a real problem searching for wool for my reenactment costumes. Thank you!

Re: [h-cost] Wool supplier?
Hi, you might like Mehler Tuche in Tirschenreuth - they´ve got wool in all weights and colors including undyed and will dye to your specifications if you need a larger yardage of it. A thick, felt-like tabby cost around 18 Euro, IIRC, but I only bought nine meters and they will give discount on large yardages, so if you need much more, it will be less expensive. The quality is very good. They don´t have a homepage but are very easy and friendly on the phone.

Re: [h-cost] Wool supplier?
I would recommend Handelsgillet out of Sweden. www.handelsgillet.se/shop will get you to the English page. I haven't ordered yardage but did get a full set of samples. I have bought other things from them and the customer service was excellent.

Re: [h-cost] : Reweaving - West coast?
The French Hand Laundry, in Pasadena, California (yes, Rose Bowl Land), is the place that gets recommended most in my area. I've never had that work done, but they did wonders with a cream velvet bodice that had been badly stored, and I know others that have had stuff done there. http://www.french-handlaundry.com/ Ever, Regina in L.A. ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume

I'm trying desperately to find someone on the West Coast that does reweaving. My husband has a lovely Italian suit that has a small tear. A stitched repair would be very obvious and the two places that I've been able to find in Seattle have both gone out of business apparently. If we can find someone highly recommended, I'm willing to ship the suit to them in order to get the repair done well. Thanks, Colleen I can't offer a personal recommendation, but it sounds like perhaps The French Reweavers - http://www.thefrenchreweavers.com/index.htm - may be the sort of place you're looking for. They're in San Jose, CA, and perhaps someone from the Bay Area has experience with them. Good luck! ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
Re: [h-cost] Wool supplier?
You might check out gypsycaravan.com they import wool on an irregular basis. Being a co-op it us cheaper depending on how many orders. They are working on an order now. Most of theirs is from England or Scotland. I like their wool melton. -- *Maitresse Aspasia * ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
