Description
Pale blue is the classic for baby pieces, reading especially clean beside white.
A narrow satin ribbon, 6 mm, in 100 % polyester, from 0.2 metres. It is the ribbon for places where anything wider would be too much: the loop on a tag, the edge of a card, the draw through a narrow casing. Washing, ironing, bleaching and tumble drying are ruled out by its care symbols. A permanent marker will write on it, though ink bleeds slightly on smooth satin — test it on a short piece first.
What Satin Ribbon 6 mm Pale Blue 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.
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.
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.
