[CAM] Fabric

[Andra Keller]

Manhattan sounds very much like Loomcraft down in Vernon Hills, Illinois where Hieronymus works.  I've found period brocades there for as little as $5/yard.  For linen and wool, the only regional places I could recommend are Vogue Fabrics in Evanston, Illinois or Textile Discount Outlet down in Chicago.
