Indie Dyed Recycled Chiffon Ribbons
One of our most-loved recycled fibres, made even more lovely. Recycled Chiffon Ribbons are raw-edged, artisanally stitched skeins made of silk offcuts from garment production in India. They are perfectly suited to weaving, embroidery, punch needle, jewelry, floral bouquets, giftwapping, tassel making, dreamcatchers, and macrame.
Simply Fibre by Nicole is a Vancouver Island (Victoria, BC) based boutique business. Thoughtfully owned and operated by Nicole Barnaby, Simply Fibre is a one-woman powerhouse in the Indie Dyeing and Spinning community. Nicole is a healthcare worker by day, and fibre artist by night. Head to Simply Fibre by Nicole’s website to discover new collections, stocklists, and upcoming shows.
In partnership with Unfettered Art & Supply, Nicole has been tackling dyer’s challenge of revamping and re-inventing our surplus inventory. Most fibre dyers begin with new fibre, but Nicole is working through the added layer of complexity that comes with repurposing colours and materials that are always in flux.
Sustainability is at the core of this partnership. By lending her skill to the upcycling of stagnant inventory, Simply Fibre by Nicole is helping us develop our zero-waste policy while equipping customers with unusual, striking, nuanced colourways. And by supporting Nicole’s creative business, Unfettered Art & Supply is funding our local eco-system of women-owned indie businesses in the fibre community.
