- Is the pattern printed or woven?
- It is jacquard woven, so the rhombus design is built into the fabric rather than printed on top. That makes it more durable through washing and handling than printed ribbon.
- How wide is each ribbon?
- Each piece is about 3/8 inch (10mm) wide. That is trim width, suited to edging, borders and small bows rather than straps or waist ties.
- How much ribbon comes in the set?
- Each piece is about 5 yards (4.57m) long, and the set includes multiple mixed colors. That is enough for several small projects.
- Can it be machine washed?
- Polyester handles machine washing, but wash on a gentle cycle and avoid high heat. Seal cut ends first, since woven ribbon can fray.
- What can I use it for?
- It suits garment trim, bag and pouch edging, hair accessories, scrapbooking and home textile accents. The ethnic rhombus pattern fits bohemian and folk-style projects.
- How do I stop the ends from fraying?
- Cut on a slight diagonal and seal the edge with a lighter flame or a fray-check liquid. Polyester melts rather than burns, so a quick pass works.
