Description
Sky blue stays pale and clear without tipping into baby blue. Its pile gives the shade enough substance not to look washed out.
Velvet ribbon, 16 mm wide, in 100 % polyamide, by the metre from 0.2 metres. Its face feels warm and soft while the back stays smooth. Because that pile swallows light, the same colour looks richer here than on a satin ribbon — a difference you only notice side by side. No washing, no ironing, no bleach, no drying. Roll leftovers rather than folding them.
What Samtband 16mm Himmelblau is suitable for
- Autumn wreaths, because this shade suits dried flowers.
- Bows on natural paper, because velvet reads warm there.
- Hair accessories, because 16 mm carries a bow.

Frequently asked questions
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.
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.
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.
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.
