Description
The darker version of dusky pink: more grey, less sugar. On natural paper or linen this shade sits as though it had always belonged.
6 mm wide, 100 % polyester, by the metre from 0.2 metres. Its satin weave gives that glossy face and matt back; either can be used deliberately. Because polyester gives hardly at all, the length you measure stays the length you have after tying. Care symbols allow no washing, no ironing, no bleach, no tumble drying. For paper, use glue dots rather than liquid glue, which soaks through narrow ribbon easily. A drop of fabric glue inside a knot keeps bows exactly where you tied them.
What Satin Ribbon 6 mm Dark Dusky Pink is suitable for
- Casings, because this ribbon passes through without twisting.
- Fine hems, because this shade never underlines a seam.
- Layering with wider ribbon, because layers give depth.

Frequently asked questions
Does it shift while sewing?
On smooth satin a presser foot slips easily. Sew slowly, keep slight tension on the ribbon and stitch both edges in the same direction — otherwise your second seam travels against the first.
Does a knot hold in such narrow ribbon?
Satin slips, so a simple knot tends to loosen. Pull it tight, leave the ends long enough, and add a drop of fabric glue inside if needed — then it stays where you put it.
How many colours can one project take?
Two or three from one family read coordinated; four quickly turn restless. On gift wrapping, use two tones and vary the bow shape instead.
Does it suit hair bows?
For small bows on baby headbands yes. For larger bows meant to hold their shape, 6 mm is too narrow — reach for a wider ribbon or layer several lengths.
