Care Instructions & Material Properties

• Material: 100% polyester, Country of origin: Switzerland
• Quality: The ribbon has selvedges that are bound on the sides; it is lightfast and does not bleed when in contact with water. Knots hold securely but can be carefully untied without damaging the ribbon. The cut edges do not fray after heat sealing.
• Sealing the Ends: To seal satin or velvet ribbons, you’ll need a very sharp pair of scissors or a new pair, and a lighter. Hold the end of the ribbon with the cut edge facing up. Briefly run the flame of a lighter along the cut edge. It’s better to repeat this a few times than to hold the flame on it too long and risk creating a black edge. It’s sealed when you can feel a fine edge between your fingers.
• Washing: Washable at 30 °C. Seal loose ends beforehand.

• Ironing: Iron only at a low temperature (setting 1).

• Tumble Drying: Tumble drying is not recommended (if necessary, please use only at very low temperatures).

• Bleaching: Please do not bleach.
