I travel a lot, and will go into a fabric/textile shop if I run across them, but usually don't go out of my way to hunt them down as I am with small photography groups. But I really enjoy looking at the fabrics all over the world. During recent trip to Mongolia I saw a lot of beautiful hand made yak-hair felt pieces that were hand embroidered. I got some fabric in Ireland, Romania and China. But usually don't buy much since I try to travel as light as possible.
