Several years ago when I co-owned a crafts store I was able to buy fabric at the Coats aned Clark original factory in Richmond (I think) Indiana, they might have gone out of business now. There were floors and floors of fabric (likle going to fabric heaven) The inside of the factory was like going back 80 years --remember when they used to use those old tubes for sending messages to different offfices and floors? (They still used them). At that time they still had thread and notions, crochet thread, floss as well.
