What is two-tone taffeta ribbon?

It is a woven ribbon with a crisp, slightly stiff hand and a sheen, woven so the face shifts between two colors. Here that is emerald and red, which gives bows and garlands a layered look from one roll.

How much ribbon do I need for a Christmas tree?

A common approach is roughly 10 yards per 6 to 7 foot tree for cascading accents, more if you want dense coverage. One 10-yard roll covers a standard tree or several wreaths and bows.

Will it hold a bow shape?

Yes. Taffeta is stiffer than satin or grosgrain, so loops stand up and tails keep their line. Expect fold lines if it is stored tightly wound.

Can I use it for gift wrapping?

Yes, the 4-inch width makes wide statement bows and banding. It is stiff for tying tight knots, so it works best on boxes and larger packages.

Does it work outdoors?

It is a decorative fabric ribbon, so keep it on sheltered wreaths and doors rather than in direct rain or long sun, which can dull the sheen and fade the color.
