Shop Description
Ribbonesque Inc. is definitely a store you want to visit if you have an appreciation for exquisite yarn. Knitting is at the very heart of this store. The yarns sold here are not mass-produced yarns. Many are hand-dyed or handpainted, so that every skein is different, allowing you to create colorful and dimensional garments that are one-of-a-kind.
This store is filled with eye candy full of luscious colors and textures all carefully selected by owner Linda Rudell. Linda's goal is to give you what you need to make unique creations to feed your body and soul. You'll find the finest hand-dyed and handpainted yarns in silks, alpacas, mohairs, cottons - you name it. You'll find luscious finished sweaters, scarves, shawls, felted and beaded bags garnished with ribbons, home décor, and more.
