Description
Bottle green runs so dark it nearly reads black from a distance. Only in light does the pile show its green core.
Woven from 100 % polyamide, 16 mm wide, from 0.2 metres. That pile makes it less prone to slipping than satin — bows sit firmer, chokers do not shift. In return it takes no pressure: washing, ironing, bleaching and tumble drying are ruled out by its care symbols. Glue only from the back, since glue on the pile leaves a dull, dark patch.
What Velvet Ribbon 16 mm Bottle Green is suitable for
- Table decoration, because velvet reads well by candlelight.
- Garlands, because this ribbon gathers easily.
- Name tags on gifts, because this shade draws an eye.

Frequently asked questions
How do I sew velvet ribbon on?
With a universal needle and straight stitch, close to both edges. That pile lets it travel under your presser foot — tack it first or use a walking foot, then your line stays straight.
How much do I need?
For a neck bow, reckon your neck measurement plus extra to tie; for an edge finish, that edge length plus a little reserve. Sold from 0.2 metres.
Does it suit hair accessories?
Very well: velvet slips out of hair less readily than smooth satin, and 16 mm is wide enough for a bow that holds. A few stitches attach it to a hairband.
Can I glue it down?
On paper or card, craft glue holds well. Apply it thinly to the back, never onto the pile — glue from the front mats those fibres and leaves that spot dull and dark.
