    Help finding materials again

    I'm looking for a quality saffron colored wool. Preferably something 13-16oz. Anybody know of a source for the likes of that?

    I like Lochcarron's cloth.
    They offer a plain saffron in their Braeiach line (13 oz. worsted wool.)

    Second what Brad said. Lochcarron offers saffron in their 13 oz and 16 oz range. We retail them both:

    The medium weight is $75/yd. The heavy weight is $80/yd. Both are 54" wide.

    Thank you both! I looked on their website but could not find the saffron - I guess I didn't know where to look.
