Hi all! I need a source for ribbons. I've tried on Google and there are few and far between. Does anyone know where one can find all sorts? I see tons of really nice ones for sale on eBay and obviously they found them somewhere so I'm looking and looking...but no luck yet. Any ideas? Cheers. -Yee

Hi Chrys, I'm looking for ribbons for embellishment....by the roll, predominantly grosgrains - striped, jacquard...preferably not wired although it depends. Basically I want to be able to sew these ribbons onto stuff so not craft ribbon. -Yee

Already tried most of those but they don't have much variety. I'll keep looking. I'm guessing that I'll have to hit some of the stores in the garment districts to find anything really special. Thanks. -Yee

YOu have a garment district I am jealous. I get all my ribbons at Beverly fabrics til our local on went out of business. They had a wall of ribbon. I also like the Wal Mart for ribbons. I love that you can get the Disney ribbons for half of Joanns sale price.
The more you disaprove, the more fun I am having!
