3 pack of VINTAGE HAZEL'S RIBBON STRAW to use with a flower loom or for other crafts

Description

This listing is for a pack of 3 skeins of vintage "Hazel's Ribbon Straw" brand craft straw - it's what I use on flower looms (also available here in my Etsy shop) and is great for all sorts of other crafty projects. Of course new raffia works just fine on a flower loom but to me there is nothing quite like vintage – the colors and textures are so much better!

Even though these are vintage (circa 60s-70s) craft supplies they are still in pretty good shape. I visually inspect each skein to make sure that it’s in usable condition before I package them. I don't detect any unpleasant odors such as mold or mildew. 100% viscose rayon and colors are as pictured.

Each skein is labeled 24 yards and they all appear to be complete and unused (but I can't guarantee it). But please bear in mind that it’s unknown what the condition is when you get to the middle of the skein. I use vintage straw all the time and have never had a problem - but you never know.

For those of you using the straw for flower looms my best estimate is that each skein should make about 3 (maybe 4) simple flowers (that’s based on a 3” flower going 3 times around the loom). I do recommend that if you are first learning to use a flower loom that you don’t start out using this vintage straw – I’d hate to see you waste it while you are practicing.

Included with your order is a photo of some vintage flowers from my collection (as shown in the second photo) to give you a little inspiration.
