Kreinik Ribbons create a beautiful frosted look.  Both regular and Corded ribbons (C) are available. The difference is that regular ribbons are made from a flat fiber which produces a flat sheen while corded ones are made from a round fiber which produces a nubby textured sheen.

Recreate the color and texture of nature and life, such as glistening snow, luminescent butterflies, glowing moons and stars, polished black leather shoes, shimmering fish or sea life, and more.

Kreinik Ribbons are hand or machine washable and dry cleanable. Cool water is recommended. Do not use bleach. Tumble dry low if needed. Do not iron directly on the thread; use a cloth, and do not use steam.

The spool has a lock-flange mechanism: the thread ‘locks’ in the groove around the top of the spool. Simply pull the thread to release. Wrap the thread in the groove to secure the unused portion.

Use short lengths of ribbon – about 45cm (18 inches) or less – to avoid wear while stitching. Using short lengths will maintain the quality of the ribbon and reduce tangling.

Use a needle large enough to sufficiently ‘open’ a hole in the fabric and allow the ribbon to go through easily. Let your needle hang frequently and allow the thread to untwist.

Stitch using the ‘stab’ method to avoid tangling, working your stitches in two movements: up vertically then down vertically through the fabric.
