Grosgrain ribbon 35mm - Pale Yellow - cotton

This traditional millinery grosgrain ribbon is woven in France on wooden shuttle looms, ensuring an authentic structure and superior fibre suppleness. Its 100% cotton composition and 35 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 the assembly stages.

Usage tips

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

• Protection: the use of a press cloth is recommended during iron shaping to avoid shining the cotton.
