It's not called 'pellon' everywhere, but the word 'non-woven' (perhaps
suitably translated) often comes up in the name.  Basically, go into
any serious fabric-and-patterns shop.  They should get you the right
stuff if you ask for non-woven interlining or interfacing.  If you are
uncomfortable trying to use the jargon of an unfamiliar speciality
(sewing) then just tell them you want some of the funny white stuff
that you put into collars and cuffs to stiffen them when you're making
a shirt, in the 'heaviest weight'.

They'll know what you mean.  If (by some chance) they've got a stock of
the older woven interlining around, you'll be able to tell it's not the
right stuff.
