I was in the antique store and I found this, not sure what it is, it just says, "12-10' ribbon primitive ochre." When you open it up, it is just the same triangle pattern repeated. I would love to know any info on it. Thanks http://i.imgur.com/UF63ewv.jpg

It looks like decorative edging ribbon for a larger piece of fabric. 10-12' I think is the count or measure of thickness of the yarn - the higher the number, the finer the yarn: 10-12 was "sheeting" quality, coarse & warm. Primitive ochre seems to be just the shade, perhaps indicating that of the fabric to be edged.
