This ribbon is approximately 1/4" wide with tightly spaced blocks of color (just under 1/2" space between color blocks) with the subtle silky sheen of nylon. One of the most gorgeous ladder ribbons on the market with stunning color blends - your fiber necklaces, scarves and jewelry will stand out in a crowd. Fabulous as a carry-along to perk up plainer yarns. Party planners -- do not be without this -- a decorating must-have -- sparkling and sweet! Ladder Ribbon Yarn makes a gorgeous wrapping ribbon, too - I use it all the time!
