Driftwood, habotai silk ribbon

Driftwood is a very pale grey/brown just like those far travelled, bleached out pieces we find on the beaches in Fife. A lovely neutral colour that blends well with most other colours.

Our beautiful, hand-dyed silk ribbons are a wonderful finishing touch for your wedding bouquet, gorgeous stationery, dining table or for wrapping an extra special gift or wedding favours.

Perfect for brides, stylists, artists and designers and for florists.

The ribbons are hand torn and finished so there is fraying of the edges. If you would like more fraying you can carefully ease the edges with a pin. Any loose threads can be gently removed without damaging the ribbon.

The hand dying process can leave gentle watermarking and marbling of colour adding to the unique nature of each ribbon.

Habotai silk is a soft gently flowing silk with a sheen on both sides. It drapes beautifully and is the ideal weight for wedding bouquet streamers either alone or with other weight ribbons.

This ribbon is seam free and is available in 3m lengths and in 5 cm or 3 cm widths. As these ribbons are handmade the sizes given are approximate and are for guidance only.

The ribbons are colourfast in cold-water and can be hand-washed as such. Please note that you should only use a pH neutral detergent on these ribbons, and we advise no detergent at all. Ribbons can be ironed on a warm/hot temperature, but we advise carrying out your own tests first. To iron perfectly we recommend a quick smooth with a hair straightener.

Our ribbons are photographed in natural light however the colour may not be exactly as you see on your screen based on your computer monitor. Please also be aware that colour descriptions are very subjective and, whilst we do our best, if the exact shade is important to you do ask for a sample first.
