What are you wanting to make, and how much do you need?
Why not check out antique stores and flea markets where you'll find hundreds of feet of cotton clothesline.
Ooh, those are large amounts indeed! I can see that purchasing by individual yardage for your projects would not be cost-effective.
I would suggest that you check suppliers that sell climbing ropes,(outdoor/mountaineering) or marine ropes as I know that I have seen them sold off the rolls in these types of stores. If you can not find the cotton/narrow sizes that you are seeking, then next I would suggest that you check on ebay. If you click on 'international' as far as sources when you search, you should be able to find suppliers that sell at wholesale/bulk prices and ship directly from China or HongKong. I have not purchased rope this way, but I have purchased other sewing supplies such as upholstery trim in large amounts, and although it takes a little longer for shipping, the cost saving compared with retail was huge.
Good luck with your project, and let us know how you make out with it!
I buy it on Amazon.
