The ribbons you dyed look wonderful! ...Hi Monika,<br /><br />The ribbons you dyed look wonderful! <br /><br />If you are looking for a source of hand-dyed silk ribbon, Treenway Silks has some gorgeous ones:<br />https://www.treenwaysilks.com/montano.php<br /><br />They used to be on Salt Spring Island, BC, but the founders sold the business to a couple in Colorado last year. I did order from them when they were in BC a few times and have purchased various threads and silks at craft shows as well. <br /><br />They have solid colours as well as the Montano series, above, which are variegated. The different textures of some of the threads (buttonhole twist, fine cord, etc.) can give some great texture to projects.<br /><br />You can also purchase skeins of natural silk in various widths to dye yourself.<br /><br />Oh, and Superior Threads also sells some variegated silk ribbon as well, and I've ordered from them, too.<br />https://www.superiorthreads.com/product/brand/silk-ribbon/<br /><br />Judy in TorontoJM in Torontohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06477222364406185899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634894880688964861.post-3633403326351186692013-01-20T08:35:39.707-06:002013-01-20T08:35:39.707-06:00I have been trying to remember where I've seen...I have been trying to remember where I've seen those silk ribbons you write about. I'll keep my eyes open from now on for you, but I think I've seen them mostly at big quilt shows like Houston, where there is a huge quilt market. I would suggest hand-dying your own. It wouldn't be difficult. <br /><br />BTW, I love these ribbons in your work, they add such a wonderful dimension.Kitchener Quilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12512045004228156470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634894880688964861.post-12096499775634382932013-01-19T10:08:19.836-06:002013-01-19T10:08:19.836-06:00Your solution worked out perfectly for your ribbon...Your solution worked out perfectly for your ribbons.
