Woven in Japan and dyed in South Africa by fair trade company House of Embroidery, the 100% silk ribbon has no joins and is delightfully soft and easy to work with.
Silk ribbon is most often used for ribbon embroidery and needle painting, either on its own or in creative combinations with other threads. This 4mm wide hand dyed silk ribbon from House of Embroidery is perfect for creating ribbon flowers and greenery and to achieve texture and variety in your projects.
Ribbon flowers made from silk ribbon can also be transformed into beautiful accessories, hair clips or decorative brooches.
Each card contains 3m of silk ribbon.
Colour fastness:
Whilst every care is taken to remove any excess dye from the fibres, red or dark colours should always be tested before stitching.
Pull a sheet of white paper towel or cloth along a moistened length of thread. Alternatively, press the thread between the folds of a cloth with a steam iron. If any colour shows on the cloth, rinse the thread several times in cool water until all excess colour is removed. Air dry thread out of direct sunlight before using.
We recommend the use of a 100% pure soap and a hand wash your finished products with cold or lukewarm water. Do not soak. Rinse with plenty of cold or lukewarm water. Place on a towel face down and press gently. Air dry out of direct sunlight.

Just as pictured. Very cute little ceramic magnet. It's so nice to look at it when I am using it to hold pins and needles for crafting.
I was looking forward to this book arriving as soon as I saw it was being published. A generous discount code from Beyond Measure made the book even more appealing. It arrived beautifully packaged and on time.
I’ll be knitting lots of sweaters from it!
I am very pleased with this hand tool. I am sewing fifty A3 artist books and my usual tools were not really up to the job. I am able to manage 5 sheets of 200gms paper at a time - there are 46 sheets in each book; it is a labour of love, enjoyable, meditative. I first tried a much cheaper option and returned it, as it could do no more than my awl - one page at a time!
Exactly what I was looking for to punch holes into leather. got the separate 2mm attachment, the puncher is very easy to use and sharp, leaves a very clean hole in the leather. Delivery was speedy too. Overall, very happy with my purchase.
It’s beautiful kit. I’m wondering why I didn’t buy it years ago! I’m half way through and really enjoying it.
