Dick Blick also has vellum and tracing papers at good prices. http://www.dickblick.com/tracing/papers/details/ They are also a great source for almost anything to do with fiber art...paints, dyes, markers, pens, tools, you name it. I recently ordered something that was not up to standard when I received it. After letting them know, they gave me full credit and said to keep the item anyway.
