Bevchris, the ones that I find the best are Linton Tweeds, http://www.lintontweeds.co.uk/linton_retailcomplex.htm; Michael's Fabrics, http://www.michaelsfabrics.com/; and Manhattan Fabrics, http://www.manhattanfabrics.com/index.cgi. They all have excellent selections of boucles, though Michael's and Manhattan can be a little spotty. Linton is a mill, with a retail capability. They are a supplier to Chanel and other manufacturers. I know they ship internationally,
HTH!

Thank you so much, I am off for a browes on those sites now. Thank you
I f you contact LInton MIlss they will actually send you out some samples .It all takes a while though.
I ordered some swatches from Linton direct and they arrived within a week, not bad coming from the UK to New Zealand!! I am very impressed. The samples are great and I will be ordering some fabrics.
I would be very pleased too . I am in Oz and it took about a month.
Hi Mem. I don't suppose you know of anywhere in Sydney that sells good charmeuse. I will be there next week and would like to buy some. thanks
I actually think fabric buying in Sydney is problematic. Cabramatta is good There are lots of Vietnamese fabric shops out there . I cant give you specifics . There is also a shop called fabric fantasy or fantasy fabrics This is near central sydney and you would find them in the phone book. There is also Fine Wools Direct which is also not far out of the city.I cant give phone numbers etc but have a look on google I know they all have web sites.Melbourne is alot better I guess this is because the rag trade was based here .
Thank you for your help. I will do a Google search for the ones you have mentioned. Thansk again
