Got to put a shout out for this Indian company - thanks to whoever it was on here who first mentioned it- I am in love (my fiancé in the fabric shop in Figueres can beg and plead as much as he wants but my heart now belongs to another!)
www.itokri.com I ordered 2 x 3mtrs of handwoven fabric and 1 x 3mtr of a printed fabric together with some handmade soap. They were dispatched on the 21st and arrived her today via DHL. Beautiful fabric, very light but not transparent at all. It is a narrowish fabric - about 110cms so that's why I got 3 mtrs for what I have in mind.
I stepped into the rabbit hole on the site menu called "running fabrics" thought they meant stretch stuff for athletic gear but I it refers to repeatable fabric lines. I had to do the currency conversion a few times to ensure I wasn't dreaming - the prices are incredible.
Parcel arrived beautifully wrapped and included a hand written note and a little gift of a coaster. Paid via Paypal. I'm looking lustfully at some beautiful indigo fabrics now.
