Marton Mills in England weaves 11 oz. polyester-viscose. I believe they weave cotton as well. Unfortunately, their website (http://www.martonmills.com)doesn't seem to work anymore!

It seems to work for me, the layout is a little odd though.
Thanks, I'm looking into it right now.

The page pulls up for me, perhaps try a different browser. Some pages will not work with some browsers, or you may need to adjust your browswer settings

If you want Marton Mills' poly-viscose list, select Schoolwear> Balmoral. you should be able to order directly, or through Scotweb, Celtic Croft and some of our other sponsors. I can never remember who retails the PV versus wool.

I usually look at the MM Web site with Firefox; it may be a difference of browsers, anti-virus settings, firewalls, ...
