This shade really does match dark chocolate, reading warmer than a greyish brown. Satin sheen takes the heaviness out of it.
6 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 6mm Schokobraun is suitable for
- Natural projects, because this shade suits wood or jute.
- Narrow edges on beige, because that contrast stays soft.
- Pairings with pink, because that combination sits surprisingly well.
Frequently asked questions
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.
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.
Is this safe on children's clothes?
As decoration yes; as a long loop on baby clothes rather not — open ribbons are a risk there. Sew it down flat, or keep those ends short enough that nothing can wind around.
