As a narrow ribbon, petrol shows its depth through sheen rather than surface. On a pale ground it reads almost like a drawn line.
This ribbon is 6 mm wide, made from 100 % polyester. Its satin weave gives that smooth, glossy face, while the back stays matt. Sold by the metre from 0.2 metres. Care symbols allow no washing, no ironing, no bleach, no tumble dryer. Because polyester takes up hardly any moisture, your ribbon holds its shape when tied tightly, so cut edges never swell.
What Satinband 6mm Petrol is suitable for
- Narrow accents on natural fabrics, because this shade adds depth.
- Small bows, because 6 mm ties easily.
- Pairings with copper, because warm meets cool.
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.
Does it come creased off the roll?
Off a roll you may find slight creases. Draw your ribbon once across a table edge, or let it hang a while, so it settles flat. Care symbols say you should not press it.
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.
