Description
Lilac sits between pink and purple while staying delicate. It reads springlike without turning sugary.
A narrow satin ribbon in 100 % polyester, 6 mm wide, sold from 0.2 metres. That sheen comes from the weave rather than a coating, so it will not disappear over time. Washing, ironing, bleaching and drying are not intended. Sewing rewards patience: on smooth satin a presser foot slips, so work slowly and stitch both edges in the same direction. For casings, fix a safety pin to one end and push the ribbon through bit by bit.
What Satin Ribbon 6 mm Lilac is suitable for
- Key fobs, because polyester does not give.
- Bookmarks, because this ribbon lies flat in a book.
- Decoration on branches, because 6 mm knots easily.

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 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.
