New ThreadNanny 20 Spools of 100% Pure Silk Ribbons - 4mm x 10 Meters

After having read the reviews and doing some price shopping I went ahead and placed my order. The ribbon arrived very quickly and was nicely packaged. Despite what some reviewers mentioned, the spools were easy to open, although they did have a small piece of tape on the end of the ribbon to secure it to the spool. The tape left a tiny amount of residue but I simply snipped that little piece off. The colors are beautiful, and the ribbon is flat, smooth and easy to work with on the needle. It seems, from some reviews, that there are some folks who do not know what they are buying. This is NOT hair ribbon, it is NOT gift wrap ribbon, it IS ribbon intended to be used for embroidery. If a person orders it thinking it is something else that does not make the product bad, it makes the buyer uninformed. The amount of ribbon on each spool is clearly set forth in the description, and for embroidery it is a generous amount. This ribbon is comparable to the more expensive brands which I have used in the past. This ribbon will be my new ‘go to’ embroidery ribbon. Bottom line ... if you use this ribbon for its intended purpose, embroidery, I believe you will be pleased with both color and quality.

This review is for Threadnanny 20 Spools of 100% Pure Silk 4mm x 10 meters ribbon. I am very happy with this ribbon. It compares well side-by-side to my stash of YLI and Bucilla silks; I can't tell any difference. I especially like the round plastic spool which keeps the ribbon flat and unkinked. This is a well-rounded collection of colors, with a little of everything. It would be great for someone just starting out in ribbonwork, in my opinion. Beginners may want to add some extra greens to give some life to your greenery as there are only 3 shades of green in this group. Each roll was shrink wrapped. The end of the ribbon was held in place by a small piece of tape which did leave a smidge of sticky residue. I would suggest using a razor to cut a slot in the edge of the spool to secure the end, otherwise it will happily unwind.

I am working on a project for Christmas and in a crunch time with it. This came wonderfully quick! Good quality silk ribbon, Thank you.

Not a great deal of material

These are beautiful spools. The colors are vibrant and the dye isn't spotty anywhere. I have used these for embroidery but also for various other craft projects. The ribbons are light enough for embroidery, but they're also pretty sturdy for other applications as well. As someone else mentioned, there isn't a really good selection of greens in this set. So if you're doing a lot of flower embroidery, you will need to augment with some other greens. But overall it's a good collection for a good price.

I like the fact it comes on a spools so you don't have to press it in order to use it. I am using it for ribbon embroidery. Also the spools fit nice in some of my embroidery thread cases. I would buy again from ThreadNanny.

Love the range of colours. I bought extra greens as people had mentioned that this set was a bit light on them. Looking forward to getting started on a new project now. Will order again.

this is a nice product. the silk ribbon is well made and uniform. a little disappointed in my color selection I received but that can be remedied. I will use these for my hand ribbon embroidery and my fairy crowns I create and sell in my Etsy shop.
