Silk Ribbon and Chains

Sounds like the title of some slash fiction or bodice ripper in the grocery store, but no, its just me telling you about a couple of different sites for ribbon.

Since I can't find silk satin ribbon in the stores here, I'm guessing others can't as well. I was first introduced to it in Seattle, and have wanted a source for it since. Thank goodness for Google!

Silk satin ribbon, 9mm - 50mm wide, $1.59- 4.98 a yard

Dharma carries silk habotai ribbon by the yard , and silk sewing thread by Gutterman

Dharma also has a nice selection of cotton lace which I shall have to remember if I ever want to make Victorian somethings.

M&J Trimming also carries some chains by the yard that would work really well for replicating the chains seen in German portraits 16mm chain, 17mm chain

Hemp Canvas

Oh, and for my living history friends who always wanted real unbleached linen canvas, Dharma carries 100% hemp linen canvas, $14.95 a yard
