Hey Ken

Go to Astley's for your scrim and microfibers, they used to be at the bottom of the Sky Blue Way, but they moved recently and I can't remember where to. Maybe the Gulson Road.

They're a Machine Hire place but they do workwear and all kind of supplies.

Other than that, there's loads of places online such as scrimcity.

Don't buy scrim, just buy unbleached calico from a fabric shop and wash it yourself. Scrim from a supplier is about ten times more expensive. Its only in the past few years that the idea of buying scrim has even been suggested. I have only ever bought scrim from a supplier once in 30 years. ( scrim is the old navy name for calico anyway so its the same thing)
