Grosgrain ribbon 35mm - Pale Blue - cotton

This traditionally made grosgrain is woven in France on wooden shuttle looms, guaranteeing an authentic structure and superior fibre suppleness. Its 100% cotton composition and 35 mm width make it ideal for high-end millinery and tailoring work requiring a matte and stable finish. This premium product allows for precise handling without altering the fibre during the assembly stages.

Usage advice

This ribbon is specifically designed to be worked with an iron in order to follow the curves of head openings or hat brims. Due to its pure cotton structure, it is imperative to carry out a complete pre-shrink with steam before any cutting or laying to stabilise the natural shrinkage of the fibre. Its suppleness allows for the creation of complex millinery knots (flat knot, French knot) with a clean drape and lasting hold.

• Storage: to be stored away from direct light and humidity to preserve the depth of the colour.

• Protection: the use of a press cloth is recommended when shaping with an iron to avoid glazing the cotton.
