All of our ribbons are woven using fine reeled silk which still has the sericin in it. This acts as a natural sizing. The warp threads are two strands of fine silk which are twisted together. There are 300 fine warp threads per inch. The weft is a single silk strand. The ribbon is woven in plain weave, where the weft goes over one warp thread and under one warp thread all the way across.

We have five widths of ribbons:

• 2mm (approx 1/16")
  
• 3.5mm (approx 1/8")
• 7mm (approx ¼")
• 13mm (approx ½")
• 32mm (approx 1 ¼")

They are available in full skeins and in 5 yard lengths. See below for yardages and prices.

Please note: Full skeins cannot be broken.

Our ribbons are special because they are hand-dyed. It can be expected that colours will vary between dyelots. Irregularities within a skein are part of the hand-dyeing process. Sample cards are available for the natural and dyed colours.

Hand–dyed by our talented dyers: Bean, Cheryl, Mary and Linda.
