Review on 50 Yards Of Solid Gold Grosgrain Ribbon By LIUYAXI - Ideal For Crafts, Wedding Decor, Hair Accessories, Sewing, Wrapping Gifts And More! by Renee Cook

Revainrating 3 out of 5

The count came up short

This is the product you buy for the price and the quantity, not the quality. We all know it. So I was happy to see a pretty nice set of ribbons when I opened my Walmart box. The colors are vibrant, they were packaged very neatly, and the ribbon was rolled on a round piece of styrofoam.I compared the ribbon to some from the craft store and they are pretty close. This ribbon was a little thinner and the ribs were longer but they felt exactly the same. I’d pick this ribbon as it has the best price.Where the issues showed up were when I went to rewrap each of these onto the flat cardboard bobbins I prefer. I’ve included photos showing the things I found.The silver/grey had a defective area of about 5” right in the middle of the row.The peach/light coral one is two toned the entire length, with one edge much lighter than the other.Some of them, like the yellow are really kinked. I’m not sure how as they were rolled, but there are definitely distinct kinks there. I really hope they relax on their own as I don’t feel like fussing with them.Not a bad thing but you should know that the orange, lime green, and yellow are really neon color. Super bright.The biggest issue is the cut. Of the 24 rolls only 4 are the correct length. 12 rolls, half of the total number, are shorter than 4 yards each. The difference was 1.5 to 7 inches short each. A total of 39.25 inches were missing, more than a yard. The remaining 8 rolls were longer than 4 yards, with the same differences. Maybe they think it balances out? To me it didn’t matter as I have no set lengths I need. But to those of you looking for exactly 4 yards you should probably keep shopping.The ribbon wasn’t too stiff. It’s just like all the other grosgrain ribbon I have. I really do like colors, it’s a great selection. Even with the issues I’d buy this product again. It really is the best price.

Pros
  • Beautiful texture and weight!
Cons
  • The ribbon's thread count is not high enough, making it prone to unraveling and fraying.
