First, have a look at this swatch:
http://www.darkfriends.net/misc/purple.gif
I am searching for a medium to heavy weight wool OR wool blend OR
velvet in that color or deeper, and at least 60 inches wide. I have
exhausted my fabric options here at home, it's time to cast the net a
bit wider.
I do not want lavender, lilac, or orchid. Think deep amethyst or
Crayola violet, or purple pansy or fresh summer violets. The deeper
the violet, the better.
Other requirements:
-- Vendor must be located in the US.
-- If you happen to duck into your local fabric shop and they have
what I'm looking for, confirm that they will take a phone order and
ship it, and provide me with the name of the person you spoke with, as
well as full contact information for the store so I can verify.
-- Need a minimum of 7 yards.
-- Please verify the color, don't go just by the color name. Anything
lighter than the swatch noted above is not acceptable.
Minimum $5 tip. Expedience is not necessary, take your time. The
fabric will be used for a new full-circle cloak, so I'm more concerned
with getting the proper color than getting it "right now".
