I know you can get it... But I've actually never seen it in a shop before(unless already part of an object)
I was hoping one of you lovely ladies have an idea of where I could find it. Preferably other than eBay please:D
Thank yoou. |

Tatum sells these flat sheets/spools of crin. They sent me samples last time I ordered and it's pretty much a piece if crin that hasn't been sewn into the tube shape... if that makes sense.
Is that what you're looking for?
If so, yeah, Tatum _________________ Invader blood marches through my veins like, RADIOACTIVE RUBER PANTS! The pants command me! Do not ignore my veins! |

my local fabric store sells it, you could try to check at one of those at least to get a bit to sample and test with, though it's probably not the best of prices _________________ i like my coffee black

Unfortunately, I've checked most of the local stores. The ones I can get to anyway. And have found nothing... Maybe some online store in the UK sells it... I just gotta look I s'pose:) |

do you have any hat making supply shops? or specialty/period type supply stores?
must be annoying, I have never seen round crin in person here but always see the flat. _________________ i like my coffee black

Well the round crin I only have because I once randomly found it in a bead shop who was selling tiny bags of it(And really expensive) and I keep checking back there, and still nothing. I only got like a metre of it... for £4!! And I got that much over a year ago, and before I even properly knew what it was.
Although that hat shop thing might be a useful tip. I shall check the nets for any shop near Manchester that has hat supplies |

I can special order it if you want. Most of the color selection comes in 50 yard spools, though, so it gets kind of pricey (prices vary by color and width). There are also 10 yard rolls that cost the same as regular crin, but they only come in four colors. _________________ For every sprinkle I find, I shall kill you. |

I'd have to think about that, but thanks for the offer and getting back to me:) |

I just ordered a bunch of flat crin. It should be in some time late next week and I'm going to cut it into 10 yard lengths so no one is stuck buying the big 50 yard rolls _________________ For every sprinkle I find, I shall kill you. |
