Beautiful but not expensive ribbon?

I'm looking for some nice ribbon, preferably red cotton of some description (nothing synthetic).

But I need about 10-20 metres and everything I've seen has been really pricey.

Anyone know where you buy wholesale, or in bulk for not ridiculous prices?

This would be perfect if just red and not so pricey!

The wholesale Flower Market in London has had good, inexpensive ribbon in the past - but I've not been there lately, so no idea if they still do.

Cox & Cox have some beautiful stuff but hey really take the mickey with their prices. There are lots of online florist suppliers who do much cheaper ribbon. Lovely stuff here too.

Have you tried Ebay?

Hobbycraft have exactly what you have described- bought some from there about a month ago

have you not got a little local material shop nearby? or a market? or Dunelm Mill/similar? Usually cheaper than Hobbycraft IME

Thanks for all the suggestions. A random google search found this place which sells 10m for £5 - pretty good, I thought. Have ordered seeing as I am lazy and would rather not leave the house if I don't have to...

Thanks again!
