Greetings. I’m trying to locate a source for bolts of “cool max” or a comparable substitute. Also a source,preferable canadian, for bolts of cotton/lycra blend. I have found sales reps for the mills but they want to sell bolts of 450 meters. A bolt with 10-20 meters in colours/fabrics of my choice would work better for me. I live in Canada so with duty and exchange my first choice would be canadian suppliers. Anyone have any suggestions? Thank-you. Minny from FLASHY LEGS.

Minny, if you only need a 10 to 20 meter bolt, I suggest that you ask retail stores if they will give you a discount price for purchasing an entire bolt. Some stores will do this. Otherwise, I don't know a whole lot about purchasing fabrics wholesale.
I know that the Rain Shed sells Cool Max fabrics (some are jersey knits, others have a mesh structure). They're in Corvallis, OR (541-753-8900). I don't know of a Canadian supplier, but you could try Textile Outfitters in Calgary, Alberta (403-543-7676), and Elanna Enterprises in Innisfail, Alberta (403-227-3127).
