Description
Orange is the warmest shade here. On a dark ground it glows; on a pale one it reads friendly rather than garish.
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 Orange 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.
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.
Can I sew several side by side?
Yes, that gives a fine striped effect. Mark your lines with chalk first and keep the gaps even — at 6 mm, a gap of about one ribbon width looks right.
