Grade A Aircraft Cotton

Anyone know of a source of Grade A aircraft cotton?
Need enough to cover spars of new wings for Stampe (actually more than one Stampe in a group endeavor). Not to cover the wings, just the spar, top and bottom, of each wing.
Also, anyone know where else I should ask this question?

Aircraft Spruce might be a source, but I think they're all Dacron and Ceconite.

Take a look here:...... The Moth Service Register of the de Havilland Moth Club Look at Section 25.

Grade A cotton is usually a misnoma for IRISH LINEN.Thats what you want as Dacron is man made and is usually Ironed on not doped.Try Skysport at Little Staughton I think thy are.Cliff Lovell if he is still around near Kingclere or Ben Coopers Widow near Hungerford!Hope this helps.
