Rust sits between orange and brown, the most autumnal shade here. That pile makes it deeper than a smooth ribbon could.
Woven from 100 % polyamide, 16 mm wide, from 0.2 metres. That pile makes it less prone to slipping than satin — bows sit firmer, chokers do not shift. In return it takes no pressure: washing, ironing, bleaching and tumble drying are ruled out by its care symbols. Glue only from the back, since glue on the pile leaves a dull, dark patch.
What Samtband 16mm Rost 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.
Can I press velvet ribbon?
No, its care symbols rule that out — and it would be a shame: pressure with heat crushes the pile, leaving a visible mark. Hang creases out instead, or use steam from a distance.
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.
Do the ends fray?
Polyamide can work loose at a cut edge. Hold that end briefly to a flame so it seals cleanly — but keep your distance, or the pile beside it melts too.
