My reward to myself for finishing the first work project for the day job in 2023 was this beautiful vintage lot of YLI metallic silk embroidery ribbon on 30 yard spools. Because these aren't made anymore in this quantity the ribbon retails for $10.00 a spool or more when you can find them. I purchased them for about a dollar each.
I'm extra over the moon to have these because I just ran out of embroidery ribbon, and they're vintage, so I'm sticking to my intention not to buy any new materials this year.
It's really a beautiful thread to work with in embroidery. The blue feather stitching above the violet ribbon on my calendar scroll was made with the new ribbon.
Now all I need is a bigger specialty thread box. :)
