Does anyone know of a source of ventile cotton fabric for some DIY projects?

Yes, 'tis! I've looked at their website, but want colors different than what they offer. I'm actually looking for white or "off-white"/cream colored fabric. So far, nothing has showed up.
And the price!! 25 pounds per meter!! Yowza!

'Very similar appearance and properties to traditional "VENTILE"'
Maybe worth asking a few more pressing questions…
I have a natural ventile sample at home somewhere, which would have been from either Point North or Pennine Outdoor. But that would be from a few years ago, which doesn't help you at the moment… One of them did have seconds grade Ventile at a better price, but it is expensive stuff.
