Bought 21 skeins of ribbon yarn on impulse...

[boo1]

they were on sale for $1 each. The ribbon is about 1/4 inch wide, 88 yards per sk. Color is pink, dark pink, blue.....

 

Just thinking........

I just made the Hobo Bag from the pattern on the Moda Dea website - calls for using Ticker Tape. I used Lion Incredible ....turned out pretty nice!!

[SapphireNinja]

That Hobo Bag is gorgeous. I made mine from Ticker Tape but I think Incredible would work too (obviously, since it worked for Suzy. Also, on the Lion Brand site, look for the "Bronze Beauty" shawl pattern. Costs $2.50 but it's great... I made one in Incredible and one in Ticker Tape and get oodles of compliments.

I just made a spiral scarf last night using some ribbon ladder yarn. It's really pretty and my niece will love it! I just did 101 chains and dc into the 3rd chain from the hook and then did 2 dc in each stitch. It's quite thin but that's what I was going for. Once you get to the end, you could chain 2, turn and put 2dc in each stitch....that would give you a wider scarf and the spiral would be even more noticeable.

Oh lucky you.. I've been searching for that for a little bit.. found 3 balls at Ben Franklins and it was clearanced but not enough for a shawl (that I won the pattern on the auction)

 

Someone on 'ville made a real nice beach bag out of that ribbon also but I am sure you will create something fabulous with it.

The ribbon yarn makes great scarves.........are you in on the Winter Scarf Exchange???

I got the incredible yarn from my dollar store, about 7 skiens not sure what to do with it yet it's copper penny

I keep waiting for my dollar store to do this. I need some for a project. I'd try pretty much any pattern you like with it. It's basically like any other type of yarn just flat. So Do a few test swatches with different stitches and stitch patterns.

If you have 21 skeins you should have more than enough for a few swatches.

My guess would be a long detailed stitch or simple long stitch type would best show off the yarn but that may not be what you are going for. Play with it a bit and see.

And show us pics if you do swatches. I'm sure other people would love to get ideas!

Lion brand also has a list of patterns specifically for this yarn so here you go:

If they are the lion brand ones I bought a ton also since our $1 store had them.

The rainbow ribbon scarf pattern on the label says you need 3 for one scarf so I bought 3 of each color they had thinking I would give these as gifts. Mary

These are about half the width of Incredible. I think I'll try the spiral scarf.

I was at my dollar store earlier today and they had more of the incridble and some other stuff plus fun fur

If this is the Lion Brand "Incredible" (I bought a "few" at Dollar Tree recently) it's great for bags and purses, and maybe a matching hat and scarf too. I think the hat I made with it I used an "I" hook... maybe H?

 

Anyway, some of what I got at $Tree is becoming wings on otherwise fuzzy amigurumi.

There are some very pretty patterns in Doris Chan's Amazing Crochet Lace that call for ribbon yarn! The Farpoint Topper or the Rissa Robe, offhand.
