Silk Ribbons/Threads
 

We currently stock a very comprehensive range of plain dyed silk ribbon in 2mm, 4mm and 7mm. We also stock Glenlorin hand dyed silk ribbon and Colour Streams hand dyed ribbon in both 4mm and 7mm. Other widths are available to order.
(Please note - If you are having difficulty obtaining silk ribbon for a particular published project we may be able to access it for you or suggest an acceptable alternative. Silk ribbon is number coded for easy reference, for example #15 is a bright yellow. Hand dyed silk ribbons are usually given a colour name by the manufacturers and be aware that there are subtle differences between the dye lots.)
