Question Where to Buy Real THIN Twine?

I am trying to buy a LARGE quantity of thin rustic twine like the kind Paper Trey Ink sells (not baker's twine). I love the PTI kind but I need it for class, and that would be too costly. Anyone know where to get the really thin twine in bulk? Thanks in advance!

I ordered from this actual bakery supply co. and was pleased with the price and service. They have lots of different kinds of twine in large spools:

Check with the beading supplies in Mike's or Moore's. The beaders won't mind!

Thanks everyone. And I found out it's May Arts burlap string/twine I want. The other stuff is too thick. I know several places carry what I am looking for but so glad I found the name of the actual stuff!

I believe Simon Says Stamp carries May Arts twine. Their website is Simon Says Stamp World's Largest Selection of Paper Art Supplies!

Check the hardware section of your dollar store. I've gotten various twines there. Also the gardening section of department stores.

My Mom also gave me some real baker's twine that is nice and thin and really cheap.

Thanks for the info on May Arts. I'll definitely be ordering. I use this a lot. With PTI 20 yds for $5 vs. May Arts 400 yds. for $12, it's a no-brainer.
