I recently had wool ottoman rep fabric by a small company reproduced for a
suite of furnishings that we are happy with. Family Heir-Loom weavers,
produces 19th century textile and ingrain carpet reproductions. They produce
some dress/clothing goods. If you contact them ask for Pat Kline.  In any
event visit their website to get an idea of some of the products they offer.

Subject: undyed plain weave wool fabric


Dear fellow textile list people,

I am looking for a plain weave, 100% wool, undyed fabric with around
18 warps and 21 wefts per centimetre.

Does anyone know of a supplier/manufacturer of this type of cloth?

I will be dyeing the fabric and using it to line a 19c woollen cummerbund.
