Where do I find this? I prefer not to buy online because I like to actually touch and know what I'm getting before I buy, but if that's all anyone has suggestions of I'll take it.
As far as I know I've never seen it at Joann's or Hancocks, but that could just be that I don't know what the official name of the cloth is.
Any help?
I'm getting ready to make curtains for some of the rooms in our new house.

The home dec. dept. in any fabric store will probably carry it. It really keeps out all the light.

Cool, I guess I just haven't noticed it because I haven't been looking for it before.
Thank you.

pucktricks I'm pretty sure that my local Hancock's carries it. I'll bet if you asked at your local Hancock's, they'll have it in the drapery department.

Ticia - I would suggest using 3 pass blackout. This is a white fabric on both front and back with the insulated blackout layer sandwiched in between. The 2 pass black out is white on one side with a greyish black on the reverse. This can change to look of the color of your drape if you put the grey side against your face fabric, or it will give you a dirty grey look from the outside if you use it the other way. If you can't find any locally, I can send you a sample.
