Ribbons Galore

Yesterday I visited a fabulous ribbon and trim source in Toronto on Queen Street West called Mokuba.  The shop carries only ribbons and trims.  You have never seen such a collection; silk, rayon, polyester, fur, beaded and on and on. There was every colour imaginable in a variety of widths.  I had woven a stole with handpaiMokuba_trims2_smallnted silk warp in browns, rusts and coppers and then used black tencel for my weft thread.  When I was knotting the fringe I did not add any black tencel into the fringe and so it just didn't seem to belong.  I was searching for some black ribbon of some sort to add to my fringe.  I chose a black twisted ribbon and some glittery, slinky copper fine cord and some sheer, slightly gathered fabric to embellish my fringe.  When I have it all pulled together, I'll post a photo. If you are in Toronto, be sure to visit Mokuba.
