A ribbon or riband is a thin band of flexible material, typically cloth but also plastic or sometimes metal, used primarily for binding and tying. Cloth ribbons, which most commonly includes silk, are often used in connection with dress, but also applied for innumerable useful, ornamental and symbolic purposes; cultures around the world use this device in their hair, around the body, or even as ornamentation on animals, buildings, and other areas. Ribbon is also sometimes used as a package sealer, on par with twine.

Ribbon for printers and typewriters

Typewriters and dot matrix printers use a cloth or plastic ribbon to hold the ink.

How do I put ribbon trim on a fleece blanket?
Q. I want to make a fleece blanket for my niece with purple trim on the edges. How do I sew it on and make it look nice? Do I need to hem the ribbon so it doesn't fray, or is there something I can use that is already prepared? The shiny ribbon around the edges of some baby blankets is basically what I want to put on my blanket, but I haven't done anything like this before.

What ribbon color is associated with pet cancer awareness?
Q. I know a ton of colors and varieties are available in support of human cancers, but is there a specific one for pets? I know animal abuse awareness is related to orange, and animal shelter awareness is related to purple... but what about pet cancer awareness? I can't find it online anywhere, so is it just a ribbon with a paw in the middle perhaps?

A. Mostly we go with the same colors, but instead of ribbons, the different colors are applied to collars, bowls, leashes, etc. Lavender is widely used for the color of pet cancers.
