Hi,
I have brought the merino fabric online at very reasonable price.. Only at $10-12 from kochartex and also, it is high quality fabric and is made of regenerated wool..]]> Fri, 08 Feb 2013 18:33:41 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15401&PID=5826272&title=fabric-prices-merino#5826272 <![CDATA[fabric prices - merino : Designer Textiles rocks!

Global Fabrics in Newton Road have the BEST merino stock - I often go in and dream about what I could make. Will probably get some and make into blankets for bubs. $25/m is pretty good.

Linzy, I'm still getting familiar with West Auckland - would be great to hear if anyone can recommend fabric shops out this way.]]> Tue, 18 Mar 2008 20:32:20 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15401&PID=329342&title=fabric-prices-merino#329342 <![CDATA[fabric prices - merino : Bee wrote:Designer Textiles...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15401&PID=329046&title=fabric-prices-merino#329046 Author: myfullhouse

Does anyone know anywhere in West Auckland? I don't head into town or South Auckland very much.

I have a Kwik Sew pattern (#3212) which is for a sleeping bag with a seatbelt hole, long sleeves and a hood (although I am sure you could miss this out.) I just got it from our local fabric store

I've got some stuff from Levana (Levin) - different weights I think but on the lighter side. I haven't sewn with it but it would be fine for sewing with.

I have issues with sewing knits so haven't braved it yet ]]> Tue, 18 Mar 2008 13:00:42 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15401&PID=328826&title=fabric-prices-merino#328826 <![CDATA[fabric prices - merino : Oooh $10 a metre sounds amazing...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15401&PID=328729&title=fabric-prices-merino#328729 Author: Andie

Oooh $10 a metre sounds amazing - that's where the stuff I already have is from, mum grabbed it in Levin - it's super-fine but I think might be remnants because it's very short lengths - I only got a singlet for Ella and a botched one that's headed for the bin out of one length of it.  The stuff in town here (Palmy) is fine, but nowhere as fine as mum's Levin score - I dragged my sick self into the shop and grabbed a couple of metres anyway - was $50 at full price

...If I were cleverer I'd make a sleeping bag for her but I think I'd want a heavier weight for that still.  And so far I'm a pro at Tag Blankies, but other than that have really just messed around making stuff I've designed - I'm not at the sleeping bag level yet I don't think.

Hrmmmm... I know I've been buying it pretty cheap from the TNN trading post - I'll check in town for you today.

I think it depends on what weight it is. Do you know what gms per sq m the fabric is? I think icebreaker stuff is 200gms and superfine is just over 100gms (as far as I can tell)

I think $25.00 looks a pretty alright price after searching the net (if it is superfine).

Do any keen sewers out there know if $25 a metre for pure merino fabric (knit, I think) is a good deal?  A shop in town is advertising that, and I've made Ella a singlet out of some merino I had here, but will make her a fair few more if that's a bargain price.  I haven't shopped for it before so don't know if that's a deal or not.  I won't be buying her any thermals this year if I make merino undergarments instead though, and it does seem healthier.   TIA
