Does anyone know a good reputable source for linen by the yard in the US?

I am going to make a linen Skjoldehamn Hood. I know, they are supposed to be wool, but this is for summer in New Mexico. I am using it for sun shade, not warmth.

I think I need two yards for it. Looking for light earthy tones, but beggars cannot be choosers.

Bernadette Banner just recently did a video (YouTube) about different linens and their quality. It’s mostly aimed at historical costumers but it might be helpful.

I’ve bought linen from fabrics-store.com and it’s fine. I’m not super picky though. Bernadette is super picky.

I am not super picky, beyond being linen, as the rest of my garb is not fully period perfect. I will check that site out, thanks.

Think you're going to need a pet Amish.
