where to buy washed sharp sand?

I'm repointing my old house with 1:1:6 cement:lime:washed sharp sand. I
can't find the washed sharp sand at the local builders merchants. Do any
of the sheds sell it?
If I use unwashed sand will I have problems?
Can I wash my own sand? If so, what type of soap should I use - only
kidding.
Thank you,
Neil
Build yourself an open wooden frame and put it on an old bed sheet across
it. Put the sharp sand on the top then run a hose over it for a minute or
two. Guaranteed to wash any sand you've bought. Even the cheapest of sharp
sand.
