Does anyone here speak Prim?

If you don't know what that is, then you don't speak it. :-)
I saw something that will be hard to describe, but I'll try. It was being used as a window valance/topper. It was made of what looked like grapevine or willow twig mesh and had the appearance of a screen of sorts, with large open square holes in the mesh. It could be something that would have been packaged in rolls and then rolled out to stretch across the top of the window. It could have been 14-18 inches from top to bottom and about 36" across the window.
If you speak Prim, do you know what it is and where to get it?
I've looked everywhere online that I know to look.
Thanks if you can help!

Twig Ribbon! It looks like this:

I'm talking to myself now...it's that bad!

I certainly don't speak prim. I found the same product you linked above. Where did you see this window treatment, Jersey Girl?

HI Jersey Girl... I have several rolls of it!
I purchased it at Michaels a few years ago!

I saw it in a house.

Do you have rolls of it that are perhaps 16-18 inches in vertical length if hung as a window topper? If it were on the roll, it would be the width.
I've looked at Michaels, Jo-anns and every Prim site I can find on the web. I can't find it anywhere!

Hi Jersey Girl, yes; unrolled each would be about 6' long and around 14" wide.
I purchased them a few years ago so maybe they are discontinued.
:-(

That sounds exactly like what I had in mind, td, and you're probably right about them being discontinued. I'll keep an eye out for them though.

That's a good question! If you're asking if I could lash together twigs and make my own, I just wouldn't take time to do it. But if you looked at the link I put above, I could possibly lash together the thinner "twig ribbon" to do the same thing. I think what I'll end up doing is buying the twig ribbon and use it in other ways, not a window treatment.
