Description
Yellow is the brightest shade here. Its pile takes the hardness away, so it reads sunny rather than garish.
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 Yellow 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
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.
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.
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.
