Navy runs so dark that beside black it still reads as blue — but only just. That pile emphasises what colour remains.
This ribbon is 16 mm wide, made from 100 % polyamide. Its pile stands short and dense, so colour reads deeper than on a smooth ribbon and light breaks softly instead of reflecting. Sold by the metre from 0.2 metres. Washing, ironing, bleaching and tumble drying are ruled out by its care symbols — pressure with heat would crush that pile, leaving a visible mark. When cutting, watch the nap: every piece should face the same way.
What Samtband 16mm Marine is suitable for
- Chokers, because this ribbon needs no clasp.
- Bracelets, because velvet lies softly around a wrist.
- Brooches and pins, because short pieces suffice.
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.
Can it be washed?
Care symbols say no: no washing, no ironing, no bleach, no tumble drying. So use it where things stay dry — on decoration, wrapping or accessories.
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.
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.
