Hi Harry.

My eyes, my eyes . I've counted to 23 on both sides.

Ben, Richards, thanks for the input

Richard, is there a noticeable difference in the 'stiffness' of your ribbons? The ribbon I have with 30 stitches per white band is deffinitely stiffer than the others.

Harry

That one is so heavily worn that there is no more stiffness. However, there is a rougher feel to it.

some thread counts

Here are some of my counts just to make it (a little more) interesting:
Plain RK 25
oaks 25
o/s 25
rounder 25 (!)
5 cm ribbon 28
Souval copies from 1960's 20 and 22 ( 20 glows, 22 doesn't)
Latvian fake 17 (and glows)

Peter- try photographing and then blowing up the images. Otherwise you will go blind.

Hi Tom.

I guess I'm half blind now, but full time idiot Sometimes you don't see the forest because of all the trees

Thanks Guys

Keep the measurements coming! So far, we have established at least three distinct weave stiffness due to stitch density. It would appear that most original ribbons are 25 stitch per white band, but there are originals with 22, 23, and 30 per white stripe!
