RE: Silk (was: Re: Really Cheap Fabric....)

I buy silk mostly for dyeing or painting.  This means it is white or
natural.  I don't have the contact info here with me at work, but some
of the good suppliers are Dharma Trading Co. and Rupert, Gibbon, and
Spider.  Both in California.  These are much cheaper than the local
merchants.
