Cheap prices LOTS of colors (87 grosgrain colors). She sells organdy and grosgrain in all widths that match SU, there is also striped, dotted and satin edged. She also carries brads and eyelets custom made to match SU AND storage solutions! Whew!!!
Great service and great ribbons. I own almost 100 of her ribbons!!!
Forgot to mention, she has an excel spreadsheet that compares her colors to SU that she can email to you.
Just want to add that I also have been really happy with the quality and the prices at Pinkhedgehog -- and fast shipping also!
I ordered some ribbon from Ribbon Retreat and received my order in less than a week. The colors are beautiful! I will definitely order from them again!

Awesome! Thanks!
About the which ribbon to order... I'm not sure. When I ordered I didn't remember having a choice.
Ok..When I looked again, I think Ribbon Retreat's Blue Magic ribbon is a better match for the Pacific Point paper than the Copen ribbon. Sorry for any confusion!
What kind of Grosgrain do I want from The Ribbon Retreat? Is it the 100% polyester or the one with the cotton??

Hmm...I'm not quite sure what it's made of, but I always order the Schiff Grosgrain that can be found on this link: http://www.theribbonretreat.com/AddC...Id=870&Count=1. I have been very pleased with this product , and the service from the Ribbon Retreat is great! I hope this is helpful.
For those who have ordered from both places - is there a difference in quality between Pink Hedgehog and Ribbon Retreat? Pink Hedgehog's prices seem to be better to me.... and boht ship to Canada - an added bonus!!!

Pink Hedgehogs "might" be slightly nicer in quality... but you'd never really notice. I think shipping to Canada is more reasonable from ribbon retreat, if I remember correctly.
Does anyone have matches for the new in colors? I'm a sucker for the red, the pink, the kiwi and the blue!

Do the brad colours at Pink Hedgehog really match SU colours? They don't really look like it online and I don't want to order a bunch if they aren't going to match...
I placed an order with Ribbon Retreat on Sunday and I got my ribbons today! Now that is quick service. I really like the color matches. I purchased last years and current in colors and they match very well. I wish they had a match for kiwi kiss though Thank you for all your suggestions.

I received my in color matches today, too. I think the red ribbon is a little too
bright for the Red Riding Hood card stock. (I can use the red ribbon with my Real Red card stock, I think)
The other colors are perfect! I'm still looking for a Kiwi match!

Yes! :-D I am waiting for her to add this years in colors to order. Hopefully it will be soon.
does anyone know if the 20 yard come on spools - How do the 5 yards come? OK - one more question for sorta a newby to SCS - what does bumb mean? I love this site - thanks to everyone for your contributions!!:-D
I read through the whole thread and I'm wondering about matches at ribbonretreat for some older IC's - specifically Vintage Violet and Marigold Morning. Also, did anyone find a match for Wild Wasabi?
I'm expecting a shipment any day now. I'll report back when I get it. I didn't order any 20 yd. items though. I wanted to see the quality and matches first.
BUMP is making an entry in the thread to keep it current. When an entry is made to a thread it filters to the top of all threads so that others (that may have never seen it) will view it. Does that make sense?? LOL

Has anyone emailed her to see what she suggests for kiwi? I know before I ordered mine sometime ago, she told me what she thought would match certain SU colors and they were right on the money. Just my .02 worth.

PinkHedgehog has a matching ribbon for Wild Wasabi - it's called Moss. There is no match listed for Vintage Violet, and the closest match to Marigold Morning she has is Goldenrod, which is a little darker than SU's colour. She does have matching brads for all 3 colours though. I just placed my first order and had lots of questions - excellent customer service so far!!! She responded quickly and honestly to all my questions. Just waiting for my order now...
Ladies - I looked at all the posts and created a spreadsheet with the SU colors matched to RibbonRetreat & PinkHedgehog. If someone sees a mistake or has a match for one missing let me know and I will update. OK this is my first upload so I hope it's attached. This is for the grossgrain ribbon.

Reason: add spreadsheet
I used that list that you originally posted for PinkHedgeHog (a few pages back) and 5 of the 6 colors I was looking for were nowhere to be found on the website. I sent her an email last night, so hopefully I was just looking in the wrong place!

I've not ordered the 20-yard spool, but the 5-yard ones come all curled up in a little circle with a pin in them to hold it in place. HTH.
