Description
Grey suits nearly everything. At 6 mm it reads like a drawn line rather than a colour.
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 Grey is suitable for
- Neck bows on children's clothes, because 6 mm adds no bulk.
- Gift tags, because this ribbon knots easily.
- Edges on cards, because a narrow width reads precise.

Frequently asked questions
Can I write on this ribbon?
A permanent marker or textile pen works, though ink bleeds slightly on smooth satin. Test it on a short piece and let your writing dry thoroughly before handling the ribbon.
How do I thread it through a casing?
Fix a safety pin or a bodkin to one end and push it through bit by bit. At 6 mm your casing is usually wide enough that the ribbon will not twist on the way.
Can I sew several side by side?
Yes, that gives a fine striped effect. Mark your lines with chalk first and keep the gaps even — at 6 mm, a gap of about one ribbon width looks right.
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.
