Ecru is no cold white but carries a faint cream cast. Beside pure white it reads softer; beside natural shades it almost disappears.
This ribbon is 15 mm wide, made from 100 % polyester. Its satin weave gives that smooth, glossy face, while the back stays matt. Sold by the metre from 0.2 metres. Care symbols allow no washing, no ironing, no bleach, no tumble dryer. Because polyester takes up hardly any moisture, your ribbon holds its shape when tied tightly, so cut edges never swell.
What Satinband 15mm Ecru is suitable for
- Wedding or christening decoration, because this shade never reads hard beside white.
- Gift wrapping, because ecru suits kraft paper.
- Edges on linen or muslin, because those tones are related.
Frequently asked questions
Can I wash this ribbon?
Care symbols say no: no washing, no ironing, no bleach, no tumble dryer. So use it where your finished piece will not go into a machine, or unpick it beforehand.
Does this ribbon fray when cut?
A cut edge can work loose. Hold that end briefly to a flame, so it seals cleanly. On natural fibres use a narrow fold or a zigzag stitch across the edge instead.
How much ribbon do I need?
That depends on your plan: a bow takes roughly twice your loop width plus extra to tie. It is sold from 0.2 metres, so small amounts are no problem at all.
Will this shade suit my fabric?
Hold your ribbon right against your fabric — screens show colour differently. On patterned cloth, pick up one of its smaller colours, so your ribbon reads as an addition rather than a break.
