To train enchanting, you need lots of random soul gems and lots of light articles of clothing.

I've gotten most of my soul gems from crawling through Dwemer ruins, their automatons have lots of them in their remains. You can also find soul gem veins in Blackreach, though I've found it is more effective to kill robots for them.

If you have the Black Star, and you're very sneaky, you can enchant a dagger for soul trap 1 second and run around killing gaurds with it. Sneak attack murders don't count towards bounty.

If you've already grinded for smithing, and you had the foresight to not well all the stuff you made, you should be set as far as materials go. If not, run around town and steal every article of clothing you can get away with. Places I've found with lots of clothes tend to be taverns, houses, Jarl's house, and Gaurd barracks.

I personally am storing all the enchanted things I find and I am not disenchanting them. I will disenchant them later, after I've combined the Ancient Knowledge bonus with the Mage stone bonus and added the Lover's Comfort bonus.
