  This title helps in making head-turning garments and accessories using beautiful ribbon yarns. It is a delight to work with, ribbon yarn knits up quickly and smoothly to produce garments with wonderful drape and stitch definition. It also helps in creating stunning stummer-weight vests, wraps, and sweaters; elegant silken camisoles and halter necks that show off the yarn's unique glossy highlights and lowlights; making beautiful bags and heavenly home accessories. It is available in a kaleidoscope of beautifully blended colours and textures, choose from fruity pastels, subtle pinstripes and saturated variegated colours, from open-effect gauzy cotton or lustrous silken fibres. This title includes a wealth of tips and techniques for working with ribbon yarn, from preventing it twisting and keeping it snag-free to combining it with other yarns to create exciting contrasts.
