I need yellow PLA colors for a few prints where I do not think that I will ever use a full 750g spool but need more than the usual 50g samples.
Is there a manufacturer that sells smaller quantities? I would need ~26 meter or ~260 gram.
Yellow PLA in smaller quantities than usual 750g spools?

Sample rolls? I can think of a few....but you're out in Europe so the shipping would make it impractical

I saw that some companies seem to have 250g rolls but that might be a little too tight and the price on these rolls is close to what a 750g spool would cost me.
Ideal would be a source that sells loose filament by the meter. Faberdashery seems to still offer that but I haven't heard their name in a long time and do not know if this is still a reputable source. Has anybody here bought from them recently?

Most of the Filaments in the Faberdashery shop seem to be not in stock at the moment...

What about ColorFabb, since they are based out that way?

Do they sell loose filament? Couldn't find anything on their web site.

I know PrintedSolid.com had a sample option
Are you looking for 2.85? Loose? Spool?

I am looking for 2.85. Loose or spool is both fine.
If I look at PrintedSolid, the say for samples:

That would mean I need to do a number of welds to weld the ends of the samples. Doable but not nice... maybe I should give in and just go for a cheap spool or refill packSamples are made up ahead of time, so if you order two samples, you will receive two samples and not one long sample.

I highly doubt that you would be able to find a 250gm yellow PLA. Considering 1kg yellow PLA would cost something like CAD 5 -6 https://www.mechestore.com/products/cct ... 5444150319 here in Canada and you won't get free shipping with that. So it wouldn't cost you anything less than $12 anyways. Buy the 750gm or 1 KG whatever you can find with free shipping
Actually I would be interested in finding a manufacturer that sells 250gm PLA in Canada. Besides money, I think would save some space.
