Description
A pink without blue cast, exactly as the word suggests. On velvet pile it gains depth a smooth ribbon could not hold.
Velvet ribbon, 16 mm wide, in 100 % polyamide, by the metre from 0.2 metres. Its face feels warm and soft while the back stays smooth. Because that pile swallows light, the same colour looks richer here than on a satin ribbon — a difference you only notice side by side. No washing, no ironing, no bleach, no drying. Roll leftovers rather than folding them.
What Velvet Ribbon 16 mm Pink is suitable for
- Hair bows, because velvet slips from hair less readily.
- Gift wrapping, because that pile reads finer than satin.
- Edging on decoration, because 16 mm covers well.

Frequently asked questions
Does velvet ribbon have a nap?
Yes, like any velvet. Run a finger across it and one way feels smooth, the other rough. Lay every piece facing the same way, or they will differ in tone on your finished piece.
Can I press velvet ribbon?
No, its care symbols rule that out — and it would be a shame: pressure with heat crushes the pile, leaving a visible mark. Hang creases out instead, or use steam from a distance.
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.
