If nylon is acceptable, Nyvalour is a nice choice: https://www.morexcorp.com/Style.asp?NStyle=12&NGroup=9&NName=Velvet
The best US source I have found is Ribbons and Bows Oh My (RABOM), unless you're a wholesale ribbon distributor yourself and can order directly from Morex: https://ribbonandbowsohmy.com/velvet-ribbon RABOM stocks many of the available colors, and four of the available widths (up to 1.5"), Other colors are available by special order —I've never asked about widths, but... maybe? *** They happen to be having a 30% sale TODAY ONLY! *** Hope that helps!Dede _________________________ West Village Studio www.workroombuttons.com From: Patricia Dunham <[email protected]> To: h-costume-indra.com Costume <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, April 30, 2019 4:10 AM Subject: Re: [h-cost] Reviving the list and request for source oh, oh! what a wonderful question! I've been looking for velvet ribbon to repair the edges of a beloved blanket for just ages! My mother put on the current edging well over 40 years ago, and I have been looking for quite a while! Sure hope someone's got some sources! Ribbon needs to be around 3 inches wide to cover both sides of the edge. And maybe 6 yards, to do both the top and bottom edge. Blanket has a short, fuzzy surface on both sides; BOTH the old and new blankets were the exact same pale yellow color! I think my mother probably went into her quilting scraps for the material that's on the blanket now; there's no real selvedge and she zig-zagged both sides down. This light brown velvet is lovely soft stuff, as soft and nice as the blanket itself. Has only started showing breakdown along the fold in the last few years. _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] https://indra.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
