On the web, Denver Fabrics and Thai Silks both have great priced white handkerchief linen. Thai Silks may even have pre-made hankies. Dharma Trading, a company that specializes in "blanks" for dying also has cotton ones. Otherwise, I'd use cotton batiste for hankies.
Thanks so much for the information. I am not in the hankie making business myself but a good friend asked me for help in finding fabric because her granddaughter wants to make hankies as Christmas gifts. Beverly
try http://www.fabric.com; i think i saw some handkerchief linen as well as some cotton lawn that might be appropriate. they are having a special promo thru 8/24. enter SCHOOL in the coupon box at checkout and you'll receive 15% off your order.
