Where to buy a 15x15 ft washable sheet?

Hello all

I need a washable sheet around 15 feet by 15 feet, doesnt have to be exact 15 feet but around that. It has to be something that can be washed, doesnt matter the material ie cotton, Polycotton, felt, polyester etc. Does anyone know anywhere online I can buy that?

DOesnt matter whether its somewhere that will cut the material to the size I want or if its somewhere that just happens to sell large sheets for some other purpose.

Can anyone help?

Also which material thats washable and which is the thinnest and cheapest is there out there? Maybe polyester?

    I'm not sure about online sites, but if you have a branch of Dunelm Mill near you they sell loads of materials off rolls by the metre, and their prices are pretty good.

    I think you'll struggle to get any fabric 15 ft wide!

    Best bet is possibly to get muslin (fabricland sell it at £1.99 pm, 60 inches wide) and sew it together.

    Washes well (but allow for shrinkage) and cheap!

    What do you use it for?
    You know 15 feet is about 4.6m.
    I can't even think of a washing machine take 4.6 x 4.6 sheet.

    There are cotton dust sheet with 12' x 12' or 12' x 9'
    3 no. of 12' x 9' will cost you £12 from ebay

    Dust sheets are a good call. You can certainly buy them up to at least 12ft by 15ft. There's at least one available on Amazon (though this one isn't cheap - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Trimaco-Canvas-Drop-Cloth-58903/dp/B00004YOTT).


    The example above is canvas and the description says its "washable", but I doubt you'd get 180 sq ft of heavyweight canvas into any washing machine you're likely to have access to!

    Depending on what you want to use it for, would shower curtains be any use? You can buy thinner cheap ones from the likes of B&M or heavier duty ones. (I think that Ikea do longer ones.) Sorry I haven't checked the sizes.
    The beautiful thing about learning is nobody can take it away from you.

    fabricuk sell a lot of good "technical" & "industrial" fabrics, but I doubt you will get anything that wide.
    Depending on what you actually want it for, you could consider joining widths and taping the seams (they also sell the tape)
