Description
Petrol stands exactly between blue and green. That pile makes the shade look bluer or greener depending on the light.
This ribbon is 16 mm wide, made from 100 % polyamide. Its pile stands short and dense, so colour reads deeper than on a smooth ribbon and light breaks softly instead of reflecting. Sold by the metre from 0.2 metres. Washing, ironing, bleaching and tumble drying are ruled out by its care symbols — pressure with heat would crush that pile, leaving a visible mark. When cutting, watch the nap: every piece should face the same way.
What Velvet Ribbon 16 mm Petrol is suitable for
- Festive wrapping, because dark shades read refined.
- Chokers and neck ribbons, because that pile sits comfortably.
- Wreaths and winter decoration, because velvet suits the season.

Frequently asked questions
Does it tie into bows?
Yes, and it holds better than satin, because that pile grips at a knot instead of slipping. Pull your knot tight, then straighten the loops, and the shape stays as you set it.
Do the ends fray?
Polyamide can work loose at a cut edge. Hold that end briefly to a flame so it seals cleanly — but keep your distance, or the pile beside it melts too.
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.
