Framing / Linen Liners

Anyone care to share a good source for purchasing linen liner inner frames?

I'm local to the Chicago area, but an out of state source would be no problem.

I've been looking for someone who sells a 2",3",or 4" black liner, but would also like to find a source for the typical white liners as well.

Tring to go all lamination next year for the art shows, but I don't want to give up that matted look. Framing a laminated print with a linen liner, and then framing that with a nice wood frame, just looks too good. With some prints in the 72"x24" range, I will probably have to find someone who provides precut sectionals that can easily be assembled...

You have verged into my wife's realm, and I wouldn't know a linen liner from a bed sheet. But we source the frames we sell through out studio from Albums Inc, American Frame, Excel, Larson-Juhl, and Graphik Dimensions. One of those will almost assuredly have what you're looking for.

I get my white ones from Frame King Moulding in Northern Kentucky, which is a member of WDA. I don't know if they have black. You might check the WDA website for a supplier in your area if you are a licensed business, otherwise they won't sell to you.

Hank, Rob, and Grace, thank you very much!

The ValleyMoulding shop had exactly what I was looking for in a black liner!
