Description
Light grey is the most restrained shade here. On velvet it reads silvery, because the pile breaks light unevenly.
A 16 mm velvet ribbon in 100 % polyamide, sold from 0.2 metres. It sits heavier in your hand than a satin ribbon of the same width, because pile needs material. Which is exactly what makes a bow fuller. No washing, ironing, bleaching or drying. For straight seams, tack it first, or it travels under your presser foot. Seal a cut edge briefly with a flame, so it will not work loose.
What Samtband 16mm Hellgrau is suitable for
- Edges on cushion covers, because this ribbon sets texture.
- Bag flaps, because velvet contrasts with your fabric.
- Dress straps, because 16 mm sits comfortably on a shoulder.

Frequently asked questions
Does velvet ribbon have a nap?
Yes, like any velvet. Run a finger across it and one way feels smooth, the other rough. Lay every piece facing the same way, or they will differ in tone on your finished piece.
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.
How much do I need?
For a neck bow, reckon your neck measurement plus extra to tie; for an edge finish, that edge length plus a little reserve. Sold from 0.2 metres.
Does it suit hair accessories?
Very well: velvet slips out of hair less readily than smooth satin, and 16 mm is wide enough for a bow that holds. A few stitches attach it to a hairband.
