I picked up some ribbon yarn (also called tape yarn) purely because I was curious—and let me tell you, it surprised me in the best way. In this video I’m talking about what you can crochet with ribbon yarn that’s not just baskets, because I think a lot of us see it and automatically assume “home decor only.” I couldn’t wait to try it, and I ended up really pleased with how it worked up and how polished it looked. My biggest takeaway is that budget ribbon yarn can give you that expensive, boutique finish without spending boutique money. I’m sharing the kind of projects it’s great for, what sort of look you can expect, and why it can be such a fun “different” yarn to keep in your stash when you want a statement piece. Also—quick note—I mention the lighting issue in the video (that yellow tint), but the project and the yarn itself are still absolutely worth checking out.
