Ric Rac & More Pinks

I'm trying to find a source for cotton ric rac by the yard, not necessarily in bulk. Buying it in the packets is wasteful, plus I'm not finding the colours I'm looking for. So if any of you buy ric rac online, and know of a good source, I'd be very grateful if you would pass that information along.

Yesterday was spent washing and ironing all the fabrics that I've purchased over the last week or so. More were added to the ever growing pile over the weekend.


I have a plan for all these fabrics.
I decided the diagonal check that I got last week wasn't the right shade of pink to go with Jenna's picnic quilt, so I picked this up on the weekend.

These were stitched up last night, now washed and pressed and ready to be cut up and included in a Christmas item.
Time to make a start on those pretty pink spots and those scrappy log cabins.
Happy Stitching, and thanks for taking the time to leave a comment.

Try this place.

They sell it in large quantities but it is very cheap so you could get it and they trade with someone or something. I have had 2 reels of it. I love it. I love the 100% cotton rick rack.

good luck

I don't know if this is cotton rick rack or not. I have not purchased from them but have it bookmarked in case I need it.
