Good morning, fellow stitchers! I succumbed to the "New Start Bug" and began a Mirabilia pattern ("English Roses").
One of the features of the design is silk ribbon roses/flowers around the portrait of the woman. The pattern calls for four colors of Y.L.I. Silk Ribbon (4mm and 2mm). I checked my go-to online ordering sites, but couldn't find a retailer that sells the YLI brand.
Has anybody stitched with YLI silk ribbon? Any suggestions as to where to get some for my project (online or brick/mortar in the Southeast US)? Or is there an equivalent brand that works just as well? The pattern is almost 20 years old so I'm hopeful that the ribbon doesn't prove too hard to find.
In case it helps, the colors the project asks for are:
- 031 (4mm)
- 032 (4mm)
- 157 (4mm)
- 163 (2mm)
Thanks for any help or insight!
Happy Stitching!
