Description

Item is an unused package of navy blue rick rack, wavy woven trim that can be sewn onto the edges of clothing and crafts. The 2.5 yards of string are wound around a piece of cardboard, which can be placed inside a removable folding package. The front of the package has two openings covered in clear plastic that reveal the string within, and it states that the rick rack is medium size and 100% polyester. The price is marked at 60 cents, but someone wrote the number 30 over it in pen, indicating a markdown. The back of the package, as well as the inner flaps, offer listed uses, qualities, guarantees, and diagrams. The trim was made in the U.S.A. by Talon Textron.
