Wanted. Source of Braided fabric tape, Native American or Inuit design.

[Chris the Cat]

Cats,
I am after braided fabric tape on a roll, inch or so wide with either First Nations, Inuit or Scandinavian / Boreal woods type nature sybols
or patterns on.
Of the sort one sometimes sees atound the bottom of Native arctic parkas.
Just spent an hour on Google but I may not be using the right name for the stuff!?

Any ideas folks?

Many thanks.

Chris.

Have a look for Jacquard ribbon on ebay or amazon.

I have bought from this seller before, and was happy with my purchases
Don't know if she has something suitable for you though

Thanks Mary,
Checked on her 'other items' and it is all a bit lacy and glam.
I will check Jacquard ribbon Mesquite, thanks!

Best.

Actually, it may not be braided at all, just patterned.
The big problem is, I am not even sure what the stuff I want is called!lol!!
I can picture it but that is not very helpfull...

 

[Toddy]

Look for woven braid or trim too ?

There's a Turkish fellow with some of the most beautiful braids I've seen for sale; but I haven't bought anything from him (yet ) and again, it might not suit you ?

(I'm having some of this )

 

[Chris the Cat]

I like that last one Mary.
Will spend some time looking, wonder if they do it on the roll( price is by the yard )

C.

 

[Toddy]

I'd ask and see. I wonder if it comes in other colourways too ?

You do realise I'm sitting here trying to convince myself that I so don't need any more braid


This one's actually quite smart not what I expected from a Union Jack one, tbh, but it's good

inkle weaving or card weaving are possibilities if you want to make your own designs - either one can give that "braided" feel to the textile with the card weaving being the thicker of the two techniques

Not sure if they'll send abroad though.

Would've expected CrazyCrow to have something, but unless I missed it in my cursory glance, seems not.

If you're a 'pyro' then this might look good on a smock.
