www.fabric.com used to have something similiar; look in their home
interior textiles, or in the clearance sections.

Are you looking at only linen, or are you also interested in fabrics
made from other fibers? Silk and wool were used to make fabrics then
as well as flax which is the plant linen is made from. You will often
find more interesting fabrics at a shop that sells upholstery and
drapery fabrics than at shops that sell clothing fabrics. I've seen
some stunning medieval costumes made from drapery material. Just
remember to check what fibers are used in the fabric before you buy
it. In the US some drapery fabrics have fiberglass in them and that
stuff is awful to your skin.
