SUPPLIERS
This is a list of stores where you can get various items for your kit. It is also a good idea to look in secondhand stores such as Hospice, Red Cross and the like, as they can sometimes have suitable fabric remnants and wool yarn remnants. Look in these places also for other items of kit (e.g. bowls, baskets, wooden plates, pottery). Have a look also at what people throw out in inorganic collections.
