No, that's the thing: crafting materials can only be found in the wild or obtained by breaking down equipment. No vendors sell them. Which is why I'm not goin Medium Armor, the only way to craft it is through Rawhide which can only be found by killing creatures. It sucks because they sometimes drop none or only one, whereas Jute for Light armor and Iron for Heavy are guaranteed 3 samples each when you find a Jute plant or Iron vein.
