Sari Yarn, Ribbons and more - Indian Brocade Silk Sari Ribbon | ||||
 |
This delivery of sari silk brocade ribbons is the most sumptuous we have had, with deep shades along with brights, and lots of rich metallic brocade. I'm thinking Christmas and Indian-inspired artwork! Each skein has different shades and includes metal thread brocade along with plain and patterned silks. Silk sari ribbon is silk waste from the sari textile mills in India which would otherwise be destroyed. This beautiful handmade craft ribbon is made by women's co-operatives in rural India. The silk sari fabric is hand cut and tied end to end and made into skeins. These women work from home and earn their own income, they have a quality of life and can afford to sent their children to school. This unique and magical art yarn can be used for creative embroidery, as a knitting or crochet yarn, for wall hangings, mixed media, embellishments, rugs, scarves, baskets, hats and many more. Although it is mainly silk, there may be other fabrics included such as viscose and cotton, and metal threads will be included too. Approx 20 metres, as the metal threads make it heavier than the plain silks.
