Newbie question here. I've been watching a lot of videos where the guys are wrapping with a wide thread/ribbon... Where can I buy the wider wrap from?

Hi Mark,

I carry a top quality holographic metallic ribbon braid. Ribbon is usually left out of the description.
You will be looking for the following qualities:
Straight clean edges. Thin and lays flat. Not fuzzy.
Most people want 1/8" wide braid and that is the size we carry.
The current colors are silver, gold, dark blue, red, green, turquoise and black.
Due to the positive responses and requests we received at ICRBE, I have sent an email to the manufacturer requesting samples of copper, burgundy pearl and purple.

Many thanks go to Tom for hosting a great event.

After returning home (where it's currently 75) and catching a cold, I am faced with a lot of catch up work. I will put pictures of the braid on my website when I recover a little. The current braid pictures are of the braid that will be replaced.

You can contact Karen of Bingham Enterprises for your braid and thread needs. Bingham is one of the sponsors on the panel to the left.
