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 55 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. Grosgrain no. 5 is ideal for head openings and finishing edges of hats.
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.
Storage: store away from direct light and humidity to preserve the depth of the colour.
Protection: the use of a press cloth is recommended during shaping with an iron to avoid making the cotton shiny.
Tools: the use of perfectly sharpened tailor's shears is necessary to guarantee a clean cut of the weave.
