You could contact these people. Let us know if they will sell small amounts, and their price.

My email to them inquiring about a small (3 to 5 meters)purchase for DIY projects has so far gone unanswered after a week.

Yes, 'tis! I've looked at their website, but want colors different than what they offer. I'm actually looking for white or "off-white"/cream colored fabric. So far, nothing has showed up.

And the price!! 25 pounds per meter!! Yowza!

Point North have what they call 'waterproof loomstate cotton' for £7.39/m.

'Very similar appearance and properties to traditional "VENTILE"'

Maybe worth asking a few more pressing questions...

I have a natural ventile sample at home somewhere, which would have been from either Point North or Pennine Outdoor. But that would be from a few years ago, which doesn't help you at the moment... One of them did have seconds grade Ventile at a better price, but it is expensive stuff.
