Thanks everybody,

I eventually got some in a French store, as it doesn't look so
common in Britain. Actually, I got one that prouded itself not to
contain glass fibre, as there's a health hasard when you strip it off
(tiny bits of sharp glass fibre, not so good for lungs and eyes).

Stephane,

But what is toile de verre without any verre? What do they use instead?

I was also concerned about the health issues - and surprised to see it so
widely available (except here in the UK).
