Description
Dusky pink carries a light grey cast, reading grown-up rather than girlish. That pile takes away whatever sweetness is left.
A velvet ribbon in 100 % polyamide at 16 mm wide, available from 0.2 metres. Its short pile grips at a knot, so bows hold better than in satin. Care symbols rule out washing, ironing, bleaching and tumble drying; hang creases out rather than pressing them. Seal a cut edge briefly with a flame — at a distance, or the pile beside it melts too.
What Velvet Ribbon 16 mm Dusky Pink is suitable for
- Chokers, because this ribbon needs no clasp.
- Bracelets, because velvet lies softly around a wrist.
- Brooches and pins, because short pieces suffice.

Frequently asked questions
What sets velvet ribbon apart from satin?
Velvet ribbon has a short, standing pile; satin has a smooth face. That pile swallows light instead of reflecting it, so colour reads deeper and the ribbon looks finer — though it is also more sensitive to pressure.
Can it be washed?
Care symbols say no: no washing, no ironing, no bleach, no tumble drying. So use it where things stay dry — on decoration, wrapping or accessories.
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.
