Need ribbon help

14 years ago

I'm searching for wire-rimmed, plaid ribbon. The problem I'm running into is finding a ribbon that's not see through.

On websites you can see the colors and pattern really good, but that's because their ribbons are rolled up. But a lot of them are sheer and I can't see the pattern once the ribbon is unrolled.

Is there a specific name for non-see through ribbon so I can do a quick websearch?

I bought a cute roll last year, but once I unrolled it, it was worthless unless it's on a dark background.
