I did a price comparison a while ago and found puresilks.biz to have better prices linen than the usually recommended option of fabrics-store.com. I haven't actually bought linen from them yet (although I have bought silk taffeta which was good) and if you are located in the US the postage may alter that cost effectiveness (as I'm in Australia the postage from India is cheaper than from the US).
