Grosgrain Ribbon - Blue and Burgundy Triangles

This grosgrain ribbon is woven from mixed fibres in a royal blue and burgundy colourway, with a repeating triangle pattern running along its length. It is 5cm wide.

Grosgrain is known for its characteristic fine horizontal ribs, which give it a firm body and a slightly textured, matte surface rather than a sheen. This structure makes it hold its shape well, resists fraying at a cut edge better than many ribbon weaves, and keeps a crisp look even after handling.

Ribbons of this type are a popular choice for trimming hems and necklines, finishing hat bands, edging cushions and soft furnishings, and for millinery, dressmaking and craft projects where a decorative, patterned ribbon trim is needed. The triangle design also suits gift wrapping and accessory making.

Grosgrain presses well with a warm iron and keeps a neat fold, though as with any patterned ribbon it is worth planning your cuts so the triangles sit where you want them on the finished piece. Ends can be sealed with a light touch of heat or a dab of fray-check to stop fibres lifting.

This ribbon is sold by the metre in 10cm steps, so you can order the exact length needed for your project.
