We're planning to build a yurt ourselves as a prototype for a possible business venture & I'm trying to find a way to source 10 or 12oz cotton duck for the covering. We are in France so ideally I'd like to find a European supplier, possibly in Turkey, who could eventually offer us wholesale quantities. Does anyone have any recommendations on how to track down a decent supplier? Any advice appreciated, thanks!

Ah, so wonderful to read your reply! Thank you for your kind words and yes, absolutely let's connect somehow... I'm new to this site so I don't really know my way around here, but you are welcome to find me on Instagram, where I spend most of my time, @mendingchloe plus it might be easier to chat there, unless it's possible to here and I just haven't figured it out yet... thanks again

Hello I moved to France with my husband and 4 small kids in 2014 and now find myself possibly facing a future alone. We have been living on land belonging to my MIL who lives in England, with the intention of becoming as self-sustainable as possible. My husband was diagnosed with ASD last year after our marriage fell into crisis: things haven't improved since and now he has announced he wants to return to the UK.

We have been through a lot this last year, with my daughter having had surgery on her spine and various other crises and I am feeling acutely aware of the lack of outside support. As much as I want to stay on this land I've put so much love and energy into nurturing, I am very aware that I may need to leave it all behind without much notice, so I would love to make some connections with other like-minded, family-friendly people and communities who would be able to offer advice and possibly accommodation in return for gardening and creative projects based around sustainable making and mending.

If you are or know of anyone who might be interested in helping us, please let me know!
