The dark grey tone is lightly flecked, giving the braid a warm, handcrafted look that you'd normally only find in woven wool. The edge is firmly finished and won't fray, keeping your project looking neat without any extra work.

About this material

This braid is a blend of polyester and acrylic, two fibres that work together to create a fabric with bounce and a soft, wool-like feel. The acrylic fibre gives the mottled appearance and that warm wool sensation, while the polyester provides stability and durability during sewing and wear. You'll notice the ribbon doesn't stretch when you attach it, yet stays supple enough to move with your fabric. The texture has a subtle rib structure that adds extra grip when handling. This combination makes the braid suitable for both decorative and functional applications.

Uses

With its wool-like appearance and sturdy structure, this braid works well in a range of clothing projects and accessories. Think about:

• Finishing cuffs and collar edges on jackets
• Binding along pockets and slits on wool coats
• Decorative trim on bags and clutches
• Reinforcing seams on heavy fabrics
• Edging on blankets and plaids
• Trim on cushions and home textiles
• Detail on hats and beanies
• Use as bias binding in patchwork or quilt projects, see our range of bias binding

With this braid, you'll give your sewing project that classic, warm wool finish in no time, without having to work with fraying fabric. Browse our full selection of ribbons for more options, or explore all our haberdashery at Rijs Textiles.
