At 6 mm lilac reads even more restrained than on wide ribbon — a shade that marks an edge without underlining it.
Material is 100 % polyester, width measures 6 mm, sold from 0.2 metres. Satin weave means long yarn floats across the show side, hence that lustre. Care symbols exclude washing, ironing, bleach, tumble dryer. In return this ribbon barely creases, settling flat again soon after you unroll it. On paper, craft glue holds; on fabric, textile glue is better — though only a seam holds for good.
What Satinband 6mm Flieder is suitable for
- Fine hems, because this shade never dominates.
- Spring decoration, because lilac reads light.
- Pairings with pale grey, because both stay muted.
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.
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.
How should I store leftovers?
Rolled rather than folded, so no crease lines remain. An empty thread spool or a clothes peg makes a fine holder. Stored in the dark, colours stay fresh longer.
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.
