Reclaimed and dyed Sari Ribbon, Fair Trade Yarn Collection
Fair Trade yarn collection
The tonal version of Sari Ribbon is made from fine, lightweight silk fabrics. It knits up at a lighter gauge than its heavyweight counterpart, so for items that will get a good bit of wear (i.e. bags) we recommend a carry-along yarn such as nettle or nylon. Knitting it along with a strand of non-superwash wool and felting creates a fabulous texture.
Approximately 10mm to 20mm wide, 50g/approx. 25 yds
Please note: Sari Ribbon yarns are crafted from remnant fabrics, and therefore colorway representations are approximate and will vary from batch to batch. Handmade in India.
The watercolor collection of unique hand painted ribbon yarn is made from hand-cut strips of reclaimed sari silk fabric sewn end-to-end. Perfect for freeform knitting and crochet, weaving, embellishing, embroidery, quilting, mixed media collage, and virtually any edgy project.
The base for this sari ribbon is made from substantial silk farics and can also be knit as-is to make items that need durability: bags, pillows, etc., and makes a fabulous fringe.
Ribbon base made in India; hand dyed at our studio in Brattleboro, VT.
10-22m wide, 100g/approx. 50 yds
