Carpet By-the-Yard

Getting along with my 100-6 restoration and working toward carpet. I made the interior panels myself by buying vinyl and copying what was left of my Longbridge. The pre-cut carpet kit is $500+. For that price, I will have a go at cutting my own. AH Spares sells carpet by-the-yard in two varieties, but the freight will likely be more than the material.

Does anyone know of a source in the US that sells carpet by-the-yard appropriate for a '58 big Healey? I'm not seeing it at the usual suspects. It doesn't need to be concours correct but something similar and ~period correct would be in line with the restoration approach so far.

Thanks for any suggestions. Also, if anyone has experience cutting their own carpet, I'd appreciate any suggestions.

Mike T.
