Painter’s Threads Silk Ribbon, 7 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 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:
