Silk Ribbon Embroidery

     I carry over 100 colors of YLI Silk Ribbon.  Most of my stock is in 4mm but I also have several colors of 2mm and 7mm silk ribbon.  If there is a color you need that I don't have it can be ordered for you and shipped in a separate order. Silk ribbon 2 and 4mm $3.10. 7mm $6.00

 

Variegated silk ribbon in ten colors now available. $3.60/skein

     Silk ribbon is fast and easy.  Many of the flowers are made by basic silk ribbon embroidery stitches.  If you have any type of embroidery experience you will find silk ribbon is easily self taught with a book.

    My favorite silk ribbon books for beginners are:
