Where to buy wide rolls of cheap paper?

Where can I buy wide rolls of cheap paper? I'll be drawing on it, designing sewing patterns. I'd love to find a cheap source of paper that's at least a meter wide. Thanks!

I know Ikea has wide rolls of blank newsprint.

Ahh, it's only 47cm wide, sorry

There's a store on Main near 16th that sells surplus things from industries to make crafts from. They just might have something like that.
Give them a call and ask.

Coolite bamboo supply on Hastings sells rolls of mulberry paper that are 36" wide and of a goodly length. Sorry, I can't recall how much as I haven't had to buy one in a few years now, but I use it for pattern drafting and it's great. Not as traceable as drafting vellum, which is awesome but super-expensive from office supply, but definitely easier to work with than the wide rolls of white paper that are sold as banquet table covers. (Which I don't know the price on, because I only get them on occasion when some event organizer is holding the extra one up at the end saying "hey, can anyone use this?") Good luck!
