Terri, a reader, has sent this marvelous list of fabric sources, which she’s given me permission to share. I’ve left her notes intact, because they are very helpful! She reminded me, too, that many shops sell by the half-yard, or half-meter, so beware! This is not a practice that I’m happy about, but it’s important to understand how the fabric is sold — a half-meter or yard price looks a lot better than the double it really is for a whole meter or yard.
American Fabric Sellers
Terri noted that she hasn’t yet purchased from any of these USA sources. I’ve added Milli & Dot, (recommended by Terri after she’d sent this list) and have just received an order from them. I was very pleased with speed, accuracy, and quality!

https://watertowertextiles.ca/ Leamington Ontario Stock & order – Nice stuff
https://www.thefabricsnob.com/ Manitoba Stock & Custom Her knits are very wide – usually 72” Because she has grown so much in the sewing community her delivery time is a little longer.
https://www.westcoastfabricboutique.com/pages/about-us Vancouver Island. They do a lot of their sales re Facebook. European knits such as Sweat & French Terry (One of my favorites) Their retail site is a lot to be desired best to join her FB group.
https://blackrabbitfabric.com Great source of basic knits & ribbing. Colour cards available. Quick delivery time. (the large loop terry is so thick & lush)
A lot of the shops that carry stock get their fabrics from the same suppliers. Prices are all comparable. If one place is sold out of a colour you may find it at another.
