My ribbons are 100% silk habotai and are bias cut which gives them a nice body or stretch. Over time the cut edges will fray naturally. The cut on the bias means in a continuous spool; there is a seam every two yards and the raw unfinished edges will naturally soften with wear. The seams are finished with silk thread and just a 1/8" overlap to help create a seamless appearance throughout the spools.
As the ribbons are hand-dyed there may be small marks and slight colour variations along the lengths. As the silk is a wholly organic and natural product and is all hand-dyed there may be some unavoidable shrinkage of the fibres during the dyeing process. All measurements stated are taken prior to dyeing.
Please Note that you should only use a pH neutral detergent on these ribbons, and I advise no detergent at all if possible. Ribbons can be ironed on a warm/hot temperature, but I do advise carrying out your own tests first.
