Ribbon Types Part 2

6. Brocade ribbons have designs woven into them. They have a right and wrong side and the intricate designs on the ribbon make it very suitable for elaborate projects, like home decor.

7. Picot Edge ribbons have fine decorative loops called picots on either edge. Usually, it is a satin ribbon or a grosgrain ribbon with fine loops along the edges. 

8. Taffeta is a woven ribbon that is made of lightweight and translucent silk, rayon, or polyester; most of them are wired. Even without wire, they have crispiness which makes them hold their shape somewhat.

9. Organza is a thin, plain weave, sheer fabric traditionally made from silk. Many modern organza ribbons are woven with synthetic filament fibers such as polyester or nylon.

10. Mesh ribbon is usually made from polyester, nylon or spandex. These are synthetic materials that last a very long time. In addition, mesh can be made of metal to give the fabric a shiny appearance. Although all mesh fabrics have the same mesh-like structure, they can differ in weight, thickness, color and finish. In addition, the material is available with fine or coarser holes.
