Hair canvas source?

I'm wanting to order from B.Black, as my regular supplier has sold his last yard of Hymo (to me) and won't be able to get any more for a while... But I don't quite understand the web shop. Anyone with experience able to answer these questions?

- how do I know what the measuring unit is? It says $9.95, is that per yard? Other webshops usually sell fabric by the half yard or half meter...

- what kind of shipping do they use?

Heming, I'll answer as best as I can, that way I can feel useful around here.

It says 74 inches and if I remember correctly, at least 36 inches wide. It seemed like a very large piece of fabric when I was cutting it. I used part of mine up, so it's hard to remember.

I have no idea what kind of shipping they would use for you over there.

Oh, so it's $9.95 for a piece of hymo, not yardage at all? If I'm less cr@p at inches than I think, 74 inches would be ... 2 yards, which is just short of two meters.

Right?

Ok, I remember. It is as if the bolt is about two yards wide, and they roll it off at a yard of that per unit.

I bought two units, so I had a piece of fabric that was two yards buy about two yards.

So the nine dollars would be for a piece of fabric that is about one meter by two meters.

I hope that helps.

* It looks like it would be, 188 cm by 91 cm If I did it right. 2.54 cm= 1 Inch, and I rounded off.

Fabric price is typically quoted by the linear yard. How much you get depends on the width of the fabric. If it's 74" wide, and you order a yard, you get a piece 36" parallel to the warp and 74" wide. If it's 23" wide, you get a piece 36"long parallel to the warp and 23" wide.
