All widths of Treenway Silk's ribbons are woven with selvage edges. The selvage edge can hold up to stitching on fabric or being pulled through a large-count canvas.
The silk used is the highest quality reeled silk, which still has the sericin in it. The sericin acts as a natural sizing.
The warp (length-wise) threads are two strands of fine silk which are twisted together. There are 300 fine warp threads per inch.
The weft (crosswise threads) is a single silk strand.
The ribbon is woven in plain weave, where the weft thread goes over and under each individual warp thread, all the way across the ribbon, giving a strong, stable ribbon.
