Description
Raspberry sits between pink and red, the richest of the three pink tones here. On velvet it reads berry-like rather than garish.
16 mm wide, 100 % polyamide, by the metre from 0.2 metres. Velvet ribbon is satin's counterpart: where that shines, this pile swallows light and gives colour depth. Which makes it interesting for festive pieces and hair accessories, since it slips less than smooth ribbon. Washing, ironing, bleaching and drying are not intended. A walking foot helps when sewing, or that pile lets it travel under your presser foot.
What Velvet Ribbon 16 mm Raspberry is suitable for
- Autumn wreaths, because this shade suits dried flowers.
- Bows on natural paper, because velvet reads warm there.
- Hair accessories, because 16 mm carries a bow.

Frequently asked questions
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 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.
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.
