Description
A blue without green cast, strong enough to stand out on a pale ground without tipping into signal territory.
Material is 100 % polyester, width measures 6 mm, sold from 0.2 metres. Satin means long yarn floats across the show side, hence that sheen. This ribbon barely creases, settling flat again soon after unrolling. Care symbols exclude washing, ironing, bleach and tumble dryer. Because satin slips, add a drop of fabric glue inside a bow's knot. On paper, double-sided tape holds better than liquid glue, which soaks through narrow ribbon and leaves dark marks.
What Satin Ribbon 6 mm Blue is suitable for
- Neck bows on children's clothes, because 6 mm adds no bulk.
- Gift tags, because this ribbon knots easily.
- Edges on cards, because a narrow width reads precise.

Frequently asked questions
Why does only one side shine?
That is the satin weave: on the show side, yarn floats long across the surface and reflects light; on the back it binds short and stays matt. You can use either side deliberately.
How do I thread it through a casing?
Fix a safety pin or a bodkin to one end and push it through bit by bit. At 6 mm your casing is usually wide enough that the ribbon will not twist on the way.
Does it stretch as you tie?
Polyester gives hardly at all, so the length you measured is the length you keep. That helps when tying: your loop will not sag once the knot pulls tight.
What happens when I seal the edge?
Polyester melts and closes that edge — it takes under a second. Hold the end only briefly to the flame and let it cool before touching, or the sealed edge distorts.
