| Wire ombre ribbon
has two distictive features.
Ombre means that the color
changes from light to dark across the width
of the ribbon, giving it a beautiful sheen which
is impossible to adequately display on the Internet.
The color on ombre ribbon blends and changes
in shifting light.
Also, a thin wire is trapped in each edge of the ribbon. The wire can be
pulled to gather or ruffle the ribbon into a flower. The wire also is useful
to shape the ribbon into bows.
The ribbon used to be available
in a dizzying array of colors. Over the years,
however, French manufacturers have reduced the
color options. Only 20 colors are still being
produced regularly.
Quilter's Fancy still has
a backstock of some older colors. When these
run out, they may be gone for good.
