Description
Water blue sits between pale blue and turquoise, recalling shallow water over pale sand.
A 6 mm satin ribbon, 100 % polyester, available from 0.2 metres. Its handle is smooth and cool, following curves without resistance. No washing, ironing, bleaching or drying. Several lengths sewn side by side give a fine striped effect — mark your lines with chalk first, so those gaps stay even. A gap of about one ribbon width reads calmest. Seal a cut edge briefly with a flame so nothing frays.
What Satin Ribbon 6 mm Water Blue 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.
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 a knot hold in such narrow ribbon?
Satin slips, so a simple knot tends to loosen. Pull it tight, leave the ends long enough, and add a drop of fabric glue inside if needed — then it stays where you put it.
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.
