Vivienne,<br />
<br />
thanks so much. Isn't it funny that I thought Designer Textiles was more expensive than Levana, I guess the lesson there is to always find out prices first and remember to compare apples with apples. Interesting DT's organic merino comes from South America, cotton is understandable, it's like the Italian grown kiwifruit we've been getting at work lately! I have actually got my fabric, I'm just waiting on another sewing machine to really get started.<br />

You could buy white fabric (means it has been bleached) and have it dyed yourself as fabric or garments, there's this place in Auckland<br />
<br />
<b>Color Factory</b>, claims to be organic with various standards to back that up, but I still wonder how environmental it is.<br />

I've never been one to read the magazines in hospitals, doctors clinic and dental waiting rooms, saying that I do love looking at the posters. There's a fabulous one in just about every fish and chip shop in New Zealand of all of the fish found in our waters. The Ocean! there's a topic I love to think about, wouldn't dare touch it but I do love to dream of exploiting that boundless expanse of nothingness. No wait that's outer space. Sometimes I imagine dropping a feather and an anvil at the same time on the moon, and going back years later to watch them gently kiss the cheese (so to speak) at the same time. Of course on a real moon that wouldn't happen but we don't all have moons in or back yard we can visit at the drop of a hat.<br />

Well, I just thought I would be a bit unhelpful and shed more light on suppliers (especially organic & greenish ones!) that I should keep in the dark. They are rare as moas in this country!<br />

They do scour, white and black organic cotton in various weights and weaves- cheaper than Levana, they also do black, white, and scour merino in various weights and weaves - cheaper than Levana too. You can get it dyed to your specs, but you have to order 50 million metres first, so not worth it for me. I have samples if you want to borrow them... They also can source organic merino but it comes from South America and you have to order 600kgs of raw fibre first or something like that, I lost interest after they said it came from South America but then again if it helped a few people draw a line above the poverty line then I could be willing...<br />

Their merino fabrics are good quality but dearer and you can buy colours without having to buy 1 million metres first. Their organic cotton fabric is made here but the cotton comes from Turkey, why because no one grows it here!<br />
<br />
A few companies have started importing organic cotton prints into NZ:<br />
<br />
Still a bit pricey for me but maybe down the track....<br />
