ength: about 50 meters for 100 g / 54.7 yards for 3.5 oz
Sari silk ribbons are pure silk ribbons obtained from the fabrics used in the production of Indian Saris.
On the market you can find beautiful printed and dyed Sari ribbons from Saris that are no longer wearable. Ours, on the other hand, by choice, are waste material from the production of raw fabrics
Silk sari ribbons are made by taking strips of hand-torn leftover Sari fabric and sewing them together to create a continuous length of ribbon which is then rolled into a skein. For this type of production, the edges are "raw cut" and frayed furthermore, the dyes are generally non-homogeneous (and that's the beauty of it!) because the ribbon inside the same skein tends to be made from different lots of Sari fabrics therefore each section absorbs the colour in a different way creating very interesting effects.
Which projects can the ribbons be used for? Sari silk ribbons can be used for everything from: knitting and crocheting, weaving projects and jewellery making to gift wrapping and floral arrangements.
