Rick rack is a decorative zigzag trim, and this is the medium width in canary yellow, measuring 1/2 inch wide with 2.5 yards per length. It is made from 100% polyester. At half an inch the medium sits in the most useful part of the range: wide enough to register clearly along a hem or seam, narrow enough to follow a curve without fighting you. The points are non-curl, meaning they lie flat rather than lifting and rolling at the peaks once stitched or washed.
The trim can be fused, glued or sewn in place, so it suits sewing and non-sewing projects alike. That flexibility is why rick rack turns up on clothing, aprons, table linens, tote bags, scrapbook pages, cards and gift wrap. Canary is a true bright yellow, which makes it a workhorse for summer projects, flowers, retro-style aprons and children's clothing, and it reads clearly against both white and dark grounds. It is machine washable and colorfast as supplied by the manufacturer, so finished garments and linens can be laundered normally. This listing is for the trim only; no fabric, thread, adhesive or notions are included.
