FEATURES OF GROSGRAIN RIBBON
It is typically made from 100% polyester, has a ribbed and textured surface on both sides, and is available in various widths. The ribbon predominantly features the weave, resulting in a very strong and somewhat rigid fabric, making it ideal for women’s clothing waistbands or decorations.
Another important feature is that it can be washed at up to 40°C due to its polyester composition, and it can be ironed without deforming for the same reason.
It also has a characteristic shine, similar to satin but not as shiny, as the textured appearance of the fabric gives it a less pronounced shine.
In summary, it is a ribbed fabric ribbon with texture on both sides, making it reversible. It is primarily made from polyester, although it can also be found in other materials such as rayon or cotton.
In the past, this important fabric ribbon was made using traditional looms. This resulted in small wave-like patterns on the edges of the ribbon because the weave extended from one edge to the other during weaving, and this pattern was visible on both sides. Currently, this variation of grosgrain ribbon is being produced again and is known as Petersham, which we will discuss in another article.
WHEN TO USE GROSGRAIN RIBBON?
It is common to find this type of fabric ribbon in clothing accessories such as hats, belt linings, decorations, or waistbands, where strength is essential to give structure and form to these clothing items or accessories. It is even used for fabric watch straps.
It is also often used to make hair bows, decorate shoes or jewelry items, and to add warmth to anything that requires thick and varied fabric ribbons.
