Description
Ecru carries a faint cream cast, reading softer beside pure white. With kraft paper or linen it suits better than any clean white.
A narrow satin ribbon, 6 mm, in 100 % polyester, from 0.2 metres. It is the ribbon for places where anything wider would be too much: the loop on a tag, the edge of a card, the draw through a narrow casing. Washing, ironing, bleaching and tumble drying are ruled out by its care symbols. A permanent marker will write on it, though ink bleeds slightly on smooth satin — test it on a short piece first.
What Satin Ribbon 6 mm Ecru is suitable for
- Small bows, because 6 mm ties tightly.
- Wrapping small things, because this ribbon never dominates.
- Name tags, because this colour guides an eye.

Frequently asked questions
Does a knot hold in such narrow ribbon?
Satin slips, so a simple knot tends to loosen. Pull it tight, leave the ends long enough, and add a drop of fabric glue inside if needed — then it stays where you put it.
Does it suit hair bows?
For small bows on baby headbands yes. For larger bows meant to hold their shape, 6 mm is too narrow — reach for a wider ribbon or layer several lengths.
Does it stretch as you tie?
Polyester gives hardly at all, so the length you measured is the length you keep. That helps when tying: your loop will not sag once the knot pulls tight.
What happens when I seal the edge?
Polyester melts and closes that edge — it takes under a second. Hold the end only briefly to the flame and let it cool before touching, or the sealed edge distorts.
