This is an updated version of the source list in our book, All About Cotton: A Fabric Dictionary & Swatchbook. We update the list each time we print the book, but as soon as the ink is dry, something changes. We no longer sell the updated list because we can post it here for free, and we no longer list phone numbers and addresses because you can find that information on each of the web sites. This list was updated Sept. 18, 2021. batiks.com Batiks Etcetera and Sew What Fabrics Wytheville, Virginia Authentic hand-waxed batiks and hand-painted fabrics from around the world, plus an interesting selection of handwoven fabrics, such as ikats and stripes. britexfabrics.com Britex Fabrics San Francisco, California Four-floor retail store with floor-to-ceiling displays of fabric of all fibers.
