    Default knit fabric sourses?

    I have been scouring the city for stretch terry, knit, fleece, etc. etc fabrics. I have run into some real doozies (bought em too!! ) I am looking for this in particular so i can make chmo caps. My plan is to make a few for my mom and then to start making them for donating to whatever organisation i can find that will get them to patients. I can't be with my mom during this time but i have to do something so i came up with this idea. Does anyone know of a site where i can find some quality knit fabric for this purpose?

    Today i shopped at Walmart, Hobby Lobby (yesterday), and JoAnn Fabrics. I have eight half yards to work with now. I need to build as big a stock of this fabric as i can get. Any ideas/sites ?

    I believe it is, Missy. I'm going to ask on a sewing forum that I belong to, and I'll get back to you
