Painter’s Threads Silk Ribbon, 4 mm wide, sold per 3 meter/3.2 yard (approximately 10 feet) length. Silk Ribbons are a wonderful addition for many textile techniques. The House of Textile Arts (formerly known as Tentakulum Manufaktur) uses Japanese silk, known to be especially beautiful, and the ribbons are woven, not cut, with a real selvedge — thus they do not fray easily. Use these fine and soft ribbons for traditional silk ribbon embroidery, or simply as special embroidery thread. (As this is a hand-painted product, color variations are to be expected and swatches here are only an approximation.) Choose color below:
