I was looking to get some materials for a few projects I am looking to do over the winter and am having trouble finding lightweight merino wool. I checked the forum search, but I couldn't find a thread that was newer than 2 years old. If anyone has any sources they can share it would be appreciated. Thanks

Any others?

You could also call places in NYC and LA, where a lot of designers work, to see if you can find something to get shipped. here's something i found through a quick google search:

If anyone has any other suggestions I would be glad to take them.
