I'm looking for (8m², 5 x 1.5m) lightweight, soft hand, woodland camouflage printed nylon or polyester fabric. Not necessarily water resistant.
None of the usual suspects: RBTR, P̶r̶o̶l̶i̶t̶e̶ Profabrics, Xtremtextil, etc. would appear to have such.
Any suggestions?

Hi Sean,
I wrote Prolite instead of Profabrics on my initial post. Now corrected.
The lightest that Profabrics sell is 5oz, 150g/m². I'm hoping to find 1oz, 30g/m²

Bought some stuff of these guys a couple of years ago:
http://www.bstfabrics.co.uk/ Got samples at minimal cost too which was worthwhile in choosing the right stuff.

hello, I have seen an american blog post for a myog quilt and the ingredient list is as follows:
For insulation - 5oz Climashield Apex
For the quilt outer - Momentum 90-MR ('mini-ripstop')
For the inner liner - Momentum 90-T ('taffeta')
For edging - 1" grosgrain
where in the uk can i buy these or what similar materials/equivalents should I go for so I don't have to pay and wait for overseas shipping?
Many thanks

Climashield can be had from extremtextil and adventurexpert (the latter hooked me up with some end of roll stuff for cheap when making my quilt
)

Point North and Penine Outdoor are both really good stocks and service.
