Finest woven carbon fiber cloth?

Hi,
how fine (like how many strands per inch) is the most finely woven carbon fiber cloth? Can anyone post a link to somewhere where I can see or buy the stuff. I need some for a scale model engine I intend building.

Regards
Splint

Splint,

Carbon fabrics down to 1K shouldn't be too hard to find, check with a hobby store that deals with model airplane stuff. (1K refers to how many individual filaments are in a strand, ie, 1K means 1000 filaments, 1K, 3K, 6K, and 12K are the most common)

Yoke.
