Description
Dark grey is the restrained alternative to black. On pale fabrics it draws a clear line without reading hard.
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 Grey is suitable for
- Bouquets, because this ribbon fits around stems.
- Advent calendars, because many small lengths are needed.
- Pairings with kraft paper, because that contrast stays calm.

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 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.
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.
