Dark red never tips towards orange but carries a blue note. Which makes it more festive than a clear signal red.
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 Dunkelrot is suitable for
- Christmas decoration, because this shade is expected there.
- Bows on dark paper, because red lifts away.
- Pairings with dark green, because that pair is classic.
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.
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.
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.
