    Hi Bethany,

    I sent you an email.

    For straw plait – I recommend Judith M. Millinery Supplies. Her site is http://www.judithm.com/shop/?page=shop/browse&category_id=7640e470a656fa679101d33d24aba99f
    Right now it looks like she just has the 8mm natural straw plait.

    I used to purchase from Frank’s Cane and Rush Supply. They had nice plait originally. But, my last order had to wait for them to receive a new shipment. Sadly, the shipment was more coarse than the previous batch. Also, since I ordered in such large quantities, I found many breaks in the skeins. http://www.franksupply.com/ I don’t know if their current supply is the same or not. They do have reed if you ever do drawn bonnets. They are easy to work with and ship fast. If you just need a small amount of plait, you can try them.
