online linen sources?

I find myself in the need for quite a bit of yardage of unbleached lined in the 10oz range. I'm looking for pretty much a whole bolt, preferable 60" wide. anyone have a good online source for linen?

already checking out fabricstore.com

Fabrics-store.com linen goes up to about 8 ounces in weight. Some other online sources are http://www.wmboothdraper.com and http://www.burnleyandtrowbridge.com. The latter two sites have a good variety of linens in various weights, but the prices are higher than fabrics-store.com. fashionfabricsclub.com sells linen by the bolt, but it looks like their heavier-weight bolts may be sold out. carolinacalicoes.com might be another source. They sell at Pennsic, and they have excellent prices ($5 a yard for fustian).

If you decide that hemp would meet your needs as well as flax linen, you could try hemptraders.com, which has good prices on hemp linen and canvas and sells in large quantities.

+1 for fabrics store, they send me coupons for 7% off every time i order from them. there are 10% coupons out there too, I suggest googling to get the coupon codes when you order.

really looking for 10oz linen. hemp won't do, we are replacing all of our bakers' couches in the next couple of months and really need the heavy linen.
