Grey is that shade which suits nearly everything without ingratiating itself. On dark cloth it lifts away; on pale cloth it stays restrained.
15 mm wide, 100 % polyester, by the metre from 0.2 metres. That sheen comes from the weave rather than a coating, so it will not wear away over time. Care symbols say: no washing, no ironing, no bleach, no drying. In return your ribbon keeps its shape, never stretching as you tie it. When cutting, an angled cut pays off — that end threads through eyelets more easily, fraying less.
What Satinband 15mm Grau is suitable for
- Projects for men, because grey reads matter-of-fact rather than decorative.
- Edges on denim, because this shade picks up that blue.
- Black-and-white wrapping, because grey mediates there.
Frequently asked questions
Can I glue this instead of sewing?
On paper or card, craft glue holds well. On fabric, textile glue is a better choice because it stays flexible. Over time, though, only a seam holds reliably through laundering.
Will the colour rub off?
Polyester takes colour into its yarn rather than into a coating, so there is hardly any rubbing off onto pale fabrics. Test very dark shades against white on a scrap first.
How should I store leftovers?
Rolled rather than folded, so no crease lines remain. An empty thread spool or a clothes peg makes a fine holder. Stored in the dark, colours stay fresh longer.
Can I thread it through eyelets?
Yes, as long as your eyelet is wider than your ribbon. Cut that end at an angle and seal it briefly, so threading goes easier without fraying on the way through.
