ABOUT THIS FIBRE:

Our gorgeous Recycled Silk Chiffon Ribbon Balls are handcrafted from repurposed chiffon scraps which have been sewn and sometimes knotted together. The ends of garments (otherwise headed for a landfill) are recuperated, cut, and connected to create one continuous chiffon ribbon ball.

Recycled chiffon silk is a delicate, ethereal fibre with interesting material variation throughout each ball. Some sections offer a softer, crepe-like silk with voluminous folds; while other sections are smooth and flat. There’s a vintage, timeless quality built into this wonderful fibre.

The intention and appeal of recycled chiffon is its non-uniformity and raw, frayed edging. Each ball (and section of ball) will differ from the last and sometimes surprises are to be found throughout: stitching, threading, and discolouration. While each ball is stitched into a continuous ribbon, please note that in some instances, stitching can come undone and sections of ribbon will separate.
