Resources for zippers and hemp fabric?

Hi all,

I'm preparing for my first-ever artisans bazaar this summer, buying materials so that I can get sewing!  I thought some of you might have ideas on where to get some supplies. 

1.  Zippers of many colors.  I see that I can buy them in large quantities from several online retailers, but all of the zippers in the package must be the same color.  I'd like to buy zippers of various colors to better match the fabrics I'm using.  Do you know of a place where I can buy a variety of colors in bulk?

2.  Hemp fabric in smaller quantities.  Any good advice on the best places to get hemp for a relatively low price?  I'm guessing that it's going to be more expensive than the cotton that I normally buy, but I want to get the best price possible.

Thanks!

For zippers, I use the ebay store ZIPPERSTOP.

You can get lots of multicolored zippers- 100 for $10.  Shipping seems a bit steep, but they do combine.  I just bought 200 zippers for $30.  It ended up being 35 cents per zipper.  They are all new, bright, beautiful, and work like a dream.

I don't know about the hemp, but that's where I get my zippers!

You could try www.dharmatrading.com for hemp fabric, they also carry organic cotton and bamboo fabric.  Plus you get a free gift with your first order.

Thanks you guys!  These are great suggestions.  I've purchased tye-dying supplies from Dharma before.  (I don't know why I didn't think of them before.)  They're a nice company to work with.  And those are some cheap zippers!

Holy cats!  I've never seen zippers so cheap!  Thanks for the info on zipperstop!

This isn't as bulky as Zipperstop, but I've purchased from fabricladiesinpa.etsy.com and they have good prices and they are small enough quantities that you can get multicolors without breaking the bank.
