Azure is the palest, liveliest blue here. On velvet it reads less garish than on smooth ribbon, so it is easier to wear.
16 mm wide, 100 % polyamide, by the metre from 0.2 metres. Velvet ribbon is satin's counterpart: where that shines, this pile swallows light and gives colour depth. Which makes it interesting for festive pieces and hair accessories, since it slips less than smooth ribbon. Washing, ironing, bleaching and drying are not intended. A walking foot helps when sewing, or that pile lets it travel under your presser foot.
What Samtband 16mm Azur is suitable for
- Table decoration, because velvet reads well by candlelight.
- Garlands, because this ribbon gathers easily.
- Name tags on gifts, because this shade draws an eye.
Frequently asked questions
What sets velvet ribbon apart from satin?
Velvet ribbon has a short, standing pile; satin has a smooth face. That pile swallows light instead of reflecting it, so colour reads deeper and the ribbon looks finer — though it is also more sensitive to pressure.
How do I sew velvet ribbon on?
With a universal needle and straight stitch, close to both edges. That pile lets it travel under your presser foot — tack it first or use a walking foot, then your line stays straight.
Does it tie into bows?
Yes, and it holds better than satin, because that pile grips at a knot instead of slipping. Pull your knot tight, then straighten the loops, and the shape stays as you set it.
Can I glue it down?
On paper or card, craft glue holds well. Apply it thinly to the back, never onto the pile — glue from the front mats those fibres and leaves that spot dull and dark.
