Felicity, many thans for the link. Here they have even three different types of margilan. I'll definitely try this shop. Jill thanks for offering help - I think with this Latvian shop my problem is solved.

Judith, at the moment the link Felicity gave seems the best one for the countries within EU.

I'd love to order some of this silk from Latvia. Are the three different pictures & prices, for different weights or diff widths ? My translator doesnt seem to be much help ! Judging by the photos, there isnt much difference, so it prob doesnt matter to me. And what is the length at that price ?

Sonia I also thought there were different qualities but it seems that the difference is only the width: 70 cm = 3.8 EUR, 45 cm = 2,5 EUR, 90 cm = 3.15 EUR. The prices are for one metre.

Thank you, but that is what confused me ! Why would the 70 cm width be more expensive than the 90 cm width ?! This is not really a question, as you prob have no more idea than me !!

Ladies, first two positions differ by width only. The third one is much thinner (or looser weave) with thickness just 8gr/мeter. They claim that the last one is suitable for lining, to create a texture, may be not exactly for scarves, too loose may be...

Did anyone order from the Latvian shop ? I dont seem to be able to get past the shopping basket. It does say that no parcels will be sent till 16th May, so maybe that is why ? If you did order, were you pleased with yr order ?

Ladies, if I were you I'd write a letter to an owner with the list of what you want, amount, return address and the way you are going to pay. To do so press "Сообщение мастеру" in red on the left. I'm sure they could manage in English. If not I could help with communication in Russian...

I think it means they are closed until 16 May. Also it appears they only accept bank transfers. This can be done with transferwise.com or one similar. You just need the acount number and iban I think. I tried to send a payment to Sweden. My bank wanted £20! That is for a Swift transfer.

WorldRemit seems a good site for sending money and not expensive.
