I'm interested as well in lightweight natural colors.
That camo tarp looks good! It's heavier than what I'm willing to carry but it looks good.
Hello Guys,
I also ordered some fabric from this store.
I purchased 8yd of this :
"Woodland Mrne Camouflage Ripstop Nylon Fabric WP"
"Digital Woodland Marine, Coyote Camouflage 1.9 ripstop Nylon fabric. It is K-Kote Urethane Coated and WATERPROOF!!!"
http://www.efabricsupplier.com/Produ...ProductCode=45
Seeing the fabric in the OP I was hoping this was somewhere near 2oz finished.
They were kind enough to send me 8.75 yards.
The fabric is not nearly as shiny as I expected after seeing the photo on their site.
The camo pattern is very nice. colors are a bit more mellow than the web photo suggests.
The backing is tan as shown on the site.
All weighed and measured, this stuff is over 3.8 oz/sq yd
Not quite the weight that I was hoping to get, and this will be a bit heavy for a tarp.
EDIT 4-7-11:
copied from seattle fabrics site
"Super K-Kote Ripstop
4 oz. per sq yd. 140 Denier with 1.5 oz coating. This heavy weave of ripstop with an extra heavy urethane coating makes the fabric extremely waterproof and durable.
Uses: Tent floors, rain flies, bivy sack bottoms, tarps, rain pants, kayak cockpit covers and paddling jackets. "
This would have been a red flag if I had researched k-kote further before my purchase.
Anyway, I like everything about this stuff except the weight.
time to go shopping again
Thanks for that. The urethane coating must add quite a bit of weight.

It looks like her prices on her website or more expensive than the ebay ones. I got some ripstop from her for some hammocks the other day and am happy with the stuff so far.

I love her 72" wide ripstop! It is a little heavy but man
it sure is comfortable. I've made a number of orders
and have been very happy with them.
Thanks for the info
I just ordered 10 yards of the camo, Hope to use it for a tarp project
