These new tie dye ribbons are truly breathtaking. This color way is loaded with more earth-tones, much like a fall foliage photo. Photos are taken in various lighting - indoor, outside in sun and shade. Each skein will be unique so they may have more or less of one color, but still a beautiful mix of highly saturated and vivid colors. Probably not color fast, so don't wash with anything else. These stunning skeins can be used in their entire lengths or are great for projects where you need smaller lengths of LOTS of colors. Just cut up a foot of this one, 8 inches of that one,....
I also have these tie dye ribbons in other colorways - some mostly blues and moody colors, others with pinks & purples and some of the blue green tones. If you are looking for one or two colors in particular, include a note in the "instructions to seller box" and I will do my best to make sure there are some of the colors you request in the skein.
The number and variety of colors found in a full skein will NOT be found in the smaller, 5 or 10 yard portions because the colors run about a yard long or even two at a time and there can be duplicates of colors, which don't really matter in a full skein but will limit colors in a smaller portion. These can vary in yardage from skein to skein because the width of the ribbon can range from 1/2" to 2 or even 3". I purchase this by weight so a skein containing wide ribbon may only have 30 - 40 yards and a skein with narrower ribbon can have 45 - 55 yards. The first picture is of three skeins together to show all the possible colors. One skein may be heavy on greens or orange/golds, while the next skein may have less of one and more of another.

Sari Silk Ribbon is made in India by women working through Fair Trade. They take what would otherwise be silk waste, from cutting sari silk for wraps and clothing, and sew the pieces end to end, occasionally tying ends, to make beautiful yarn. In these colorways there are Greens (both bright and earthy), Reds (bright and earthy), Purples, Teals, and Golds, Rust, Rich Browns, as well as a few light pastels. Some sections will have patterns. Some of these ribbons are 3/4" - 1" but some measure as much as 4+ inches across, with a few having lacy, fringed, or frayed edges for uniqueness. Every skein is absolutely unique. Use them phat or strip them into thinner ribbon. Embellish scrapbooks, book covers, scarves, art yarn, luggage or purse straps, even jewelry. Great in weaving, rug or wreath making, or plying into your OOAK yarns. If you prefer bolder, earthier, more floral colors, or any other preference such as more golds, reds, etc..., just include a note in the "instructions to merchant" section of your order. There will most likely be NO 5 or 10 yard sections containing 1 exact color you like, so to be safe, stay with general shades like "earthy" or "bright", etc... Or just tell me a color you don't like and I will try and avoid a portion with that in it. Patterns are usually not bright, but enormously varied. These skeins are all one of a kind and as such, have a great deal of variety in both colors and shading. With the ribbon being so wide, there is a lot of silk material to a yard, much more than the thinner ribbon colors. In the smaller sections, such as the 5 or 10 yard pieces, there will not be as many colors represented or as much variance in thickness.
Choose 5 yards, 10 yards or full skein from drop down box at upper right.
