sonny,
You might try places that sell hand paper making supplies.  There used to be a place here in Indiana that sold everything from ready to use pulp to raw fiber.  All kinds of fiber, from flax to hemp to banana, if memory serves.

I have what's left of a 4oz spool after backing a bow.  You're welcome to it as I won't use it.
