Hi,
I am a weaver in Australia who is in a pickle over cotton. I want to weave some tea towels, and the only "local" cotton I can find is Bockens. Having purchased many cones and woven several sample tea towels I am really disappointed with the results. The cotton, particularly the non bleached cones, are very "fluffy" and even after being washed (in the washing machine) and pressed, they "shed" fibres on the items I am trying to dry.
My only solution is to try and find a supplier overseas and import some different cotton.
Due to the horrid exchange rate, and the international postage costs, I was hoping that someone might be able to recommend a particular supplier, or particular brand of cotton.
Any and all information would be very much appreciated.
Thank you for taking the time to read this
Happy Weaving
Belinda
