Beside its green, khaki carries a clear brown note, so it reads quietly military rather than fresh. It suits anything that looks natural.
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 Khaki is suitable for
- Outdoor or bag projects, because this shade looks hard-wearing.
- Autumnal fabrics, because khaki picks up their earth tones.
- Pairings with mustard or rust, because they are related.
Frequently asked questions
How do I sew this ribbon on?
Use a universal needle, straight stitch, close to both edges. Fix it first with glue stick or pins, or it will shift under your presser foot and run crooked.
How do I tie a bow that holds?
Make both loops the same length, pull your knot tight, then straighten the loops. On smooth satin a knot slips easily — a drop of fabric glue inside it keeps everything in place.
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.
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.
