Grosgrain ribbon 35mm - Sky Blue - cotton

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

Usage advice

This ribbon is specifically designed to be shaped with a steam iron to follow the curves of headsize bands or hat brims. Due to its pure cotton structure, it is imperative to carry out a thorough steam shrinkage (decatizing) before any cutting or mounting to stabilise the natural fibre contraction. Its flexibility allows for the creation of intricate millinery bows (flat bow, French bow) with a crisp drape and lasting hold.

Additional information

• Storage: store away from direct sunlight 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.

• Tooling: the use of perfectly sharpened tailor's shears is necessary to ensure a clean cut of the weft.
