Why use silk ribbons?
Firstly, because pure silk ribbon is a joy to handle. The 100% silk fibre is soft and luxurious, giving it a wonderful tactile quality.
Secondly, because of the results you can produce with silk ribbons in embroidery. Silk is very pliable and easy to manipulate. This means that your stitches have brilliant definition and you have the utmost control over your ribbon, giving beautiful results with every stitch.
And last, but not least, because synthetic ribbons simply cannot compare in form or colour. While you can use a synthetic substitute for embroidery, it will not produce such a lovely result and will risk damage to your fabric because it is far more bulky than silk.
