Where's the cheapest place to buy fabric?

I know about:
Seattle Fabrics
OWF
Speer Hammocks
Noah L...(something)

I am looking for silnylon. The cheapest that I've found it so far is at OWF (less than $6/yd for their 2nds). Thanks for the help guys.

I think Preacher's posted about this very thing before, but I can't find the post. I'll look again, but, I'm sure he'll be by soon to fill us in.

Yep, OWF 2nds is the cheapest I have found. Amanda and I had a problem with their 5oz. Climashield XP, but that was taken care of. We have never had a problem with their sil, and for those of you who have seen mine and Trail Monkeys tarp, both were made from Outdoor Wilderness Fabrics 2nd sil. You really can't tell that it is 2nds either. I hope this helps.

Dont Forget about Quest Outfitters.... I have bought tons of stuff from them and the service is some of the best that I have ever had. http://www.questoutfitters.com Also if your not needing full peices.. aka scraps and small stuff check out http://owareusa.com/index.html Silicon empregnated nylon end pieces for $23 per pound with free shipping.Much of this fabric is in 20x85" pieces. Some smaller some larger. Most of it is grey, a few other colors. No color choice. Click on the "Fabric" link in the nav bar. Also Thru Hiker can post some deals sometimes. Just a FYI
