Description
Khaki reads quietly military rather than fresh. It suits anything that looks of nature, linen and workshop.
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 Khaki is suitable for
- A striped effect from several lengths, because narrow ribbon lines up.
- Appliqué, because short pieces already suffice.
- Baby headbands, because this ribbon lies softly.

Frequently asked questions
What is a 6 mm width good for?
Anything meant to stay fine: neck bows on children's clothes, edges on cards, gift tags, hair pieces for little ones. Wider ribbons add bulk; this one lies flat, nearly vanishing into a seam.
Can I write on this ribbon?
A permanent marker or textile pen works, though ink bleeds slightly on smooth satin. Test it on a short piece and let your writing dry thoroughly before handling the ribbon.
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.
