Threadart 100% Pure Silk Ribbon - 3 Sizes - Dozens of Colors - Lavender - 7mm No. 571

Beautiful silk ribbon! The spool is about the size of a spool of thread! But that's fine for me. I want to use it to make silk chokers for my neck so it's perfect. Not a true navy blue. Very slightly on the teal-ish side, but it's not a big deal.

I purchased the beautiful teal green color: size 7mm. The photo above is zoomed in and makes the ribbon appear extremely large, white that I thought I would be okay with the 7mm. When I received the package it was teeny tiny , not what I expected . Though that was my fault I just worked with what I had since it was such a beautiful color and fine silk ribbon . I appreciate how it came with a good amount of 10 yards ! Shipping was quick and I will definitely order again but in a thicker ribbon size . The have a huge selection of beautiful colors to choose from and im sure you will love them too.

Just as described. (Read the size description, it looks bigger in the pictures.)

Experimented with fabric dyes, fabric markers and alcohol markers. Also Derwent Inktense pencils. The light blues make some interesting greens when blotchily mixed with yellow and green dyes. My goal is to make my own variegated ribbon, and this stuff works very well. The fabric markers worked best because I could control the color a bit more. I scribbled blotches of ink on a white ceramic plate. Then I put the ribbon in a pile and spritzed once with a coarse spray of water. I lifted the ribbon up and down a few times to help scatter the water drops around. Then I laid the ribbon around on the plate colors, lifting it up and down, also pushing it around with a toothpick. I was after a very uneven and blotchy color and that's what I got! The only thing is it will dry much less intense than when wet. This same method would prob work with alcohol markers and an alcohol sprayer, tho I didn't get that far. Inktense are labeled as waterproof when dry, but in my experience a lot of the color will lift even after drying completely. These are the fabric markers I used: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LYH5DU4?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

When I first saw the spool it looks so small, but the ribbon is very good, and ribbon size is accurate.

I use this brand all the time. never let's me down.

Perfect for the purpose

Nice color nice feel nice price.

using for embroidery

The ribbon I received was definitely NOT 100% pure silk. I have done comparison tests with silk ribbons I have bought before and; it does not feel like silk, it is stiff, and it does not pass either the bleach or burn tests. When burned it forms hard melted lumps, and bleach does not affect it all, compared with a piece of genuine silk ribbon, which disintegrates after a short while. Lesson learnt ... buy from reputable sellers or in shops.

This product is polyester. Not100% pure silk. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY.

Je ne l'ai pas encore utilisé, cet hiver

Nice but not strong. Loose weave that is fragile when used in ribbon embroidery.
