Mu metal is fairly expensive stuff. If using other than foil it requires special treatment to retain its magnetic properties.
Cheaper alternatives would be to use nickel foil (Mu metal is made from nickel and specially treated to be magnetically conductive, a special pure hydrogen bake out is the essential part of the process, not recommended for home trials). You can also use any ferrous material first as experimentation. Machine shops often have steel shim stock which you can easily cut.
There are several sources of Mu metal, if you do a google search. One company (sorry I forget the name) even sells an experimenter's kit. IIRC, their website also had great advice for using their products.
