I would be interested in a couple.
It is a Hurlbert linen and there is a dist. in Massachusetts, not far from Tony Zinzola's home. He is the one that contacted them and made the deal. If my memory is correct he had to buy it in case lots of something like 24 spools per case. He is also the one who took the time to re-package the spools and ship out to the interested parties. I don't know if he would be interested in doing that again or not. I believe Dave lives in Massachusetts also but I don't know where in the state compared to the dist.

The place is 10 minutes from my house (Dave is quite a ways away), but I don't know if I am up for doing this again. I really don't have enough time to get my work done and this was a major pain.
I looked through my records and the price before was $29.50 per roll plus shipping. I probably ended up losing a few bucks on the deal, but I doubt it was more than $10 or $20 total. I think I kept two rolls for myself.
I would possibly be willing to do it again at $35 per roll plus shipping so that I could get a roll or two for myself in the process. I had to pay up front when I ordered it. Last time, I think the total order was around $1,500, which I paid out of my pocket as I had enough interest. Some paid me right away, others paid me when I had the linen in hand, which was at least two months if I remember right.
If I were to do it again, I would need to collect all monies up front, place the order and ship them out once I have them.
I believe the only colors we can get are any combination of black and white and it has to be ordered by the case of 25 rolls. Since Black with White Spec was ordered last time and I still have both of my rolls (I rarely do a linen wrap), I'd want to do another color or colors.
If that works for people, I can make some calls tomorrow and confirm the price is still the same.

Tony,
I'm perfectly fine in paying what you want, it's a lot of work for you so $35 is fine.
Regarding the color - I'm also not to eager to have just black, so if there
is any other combos we could get - I'm cool in that respect as well.
I still have the two rolls you arranged for me last time - untouched - but I would
for sure like to have some more in storage for "when I get going".
Repairs has been slow on this and personally I enjoy leather more, but as mentioned
count me in.
Drop me a PM when things starts to get rolling.

What would the savings actually be, would all this really be worth the trouble? Is this linen available through a common source?
One pound rolls are $50 from Atlas. I would still be interested in a couple Black at $35.
