More work from the dyeing class at www.maureensvintageacquisitions.com Ribbons were the focus of this week's lesson. I had the silk cord from another time and tried a couple of yards.
Here's the silk ribbon in 1/4" and 1/2" widths.
These ribbons were in my stash and the burn test suggested that they were cotton, so I tried them. The wide one started as pink. The narrow was yellos. It looks like a batik up close.

Hi, Sandy. Your results with the ribbons are cool and it will be interesting to see what you do with them. I confess to have no ideas for ribbons! Also liked the quilt in your previous post--especially the uneven sashing. I can see how that is liberating--I may have to try it!
best, nadia
Great colours Sandy, and I'm sure they will be used to perfection in time. Cheers.
well done with the cable stitching! your ribbons look lovely as well - looks like a fun class!
