Empress Mills
Lots of lovely material - I particularly buy the bundles of Egyptian cotton and the linen/cotton scrim - very different from cotton scrim but a lovely texture, different weights of hessian

Brusho - huge range
Threads - the silk boucle thread is a lovely texture for couching and being silk you can dye it.
