- Is this ribbon velvet on both sides?
- No. It is single-face velvet: a silky pile on the front and a flat woven back. That back is what lets it tie and hold a bow, but the reverse shows if you twist or loop it.
- How much ribbon do I get?
- One spool holds 10 yards, about 30 feet, at 1.6 inches wide. That is roughly enough to wrap several bouquets or a large gift.
- What is 1.6 inches in millimeters?
- About 40 mm. It is wider than common 1-inch (25 mm) craft ribbon, so it reads as a statement ribbon on bouquets and packages.
- Is $9.99 a good price?
- At about $1.00 per yard it is in line with other wide velvet ribbons. Only two stores list it, so check both before buying.
- Can I use it for sewing and hair bows?
- Yes, but the flat back means it is better for bows and wraps than for seams. For hair bows, seal the cut ends to stop fraying.
- How should I store velvet ribbon?
- Keep it on the spool, loosely wound, away from direct sun and damp. Tight rewinding or crushing flattens the pile.
