Grosgrain ribbon 10mm - Black - cotton

This traditionally made grosgrain ribbon is woven in France on wooden shuttle looms, guaranteeing an authentic structure and superior fibre softness. Its 100% cotton composition and 10 mm width make it suitable for high-end millinery and tailoring work requiring a matte and stable finish. This premium product allows precise handling without altering the fibre during assembly steps.

Usage tips

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

• Protection: the use of a press cloth is recommended during shaping with an iron to avoid making the cotton shiny.
