Default Taffeta Ribbon Question

I'm putting together an order and would like to include some ribbon. I feel silly asking, but can't picture what taffeta ribbon looks like. Is Taffeta like satin or more matte? Anyone have a description or close up picture?

Thanks.
Mary Jane

If I told you it was like a matte satin, would that help? I LOVE the taffeta ribbon! It is very easy to work with and is a notch up from grosgrain if you want to dress up a card a little bit. Why not try one color and then go back for more if you love it? :-)

Also, if you are into trying new things and if you have the SU Occasions Mini, I suggest you also try the Poly Twill ribbon. It is soooo nice!

I would describe it as more satin than matte. HTH

Mary Jane, don't feel silly. I've been holding back because I can't imagine how the ribbon feels. To all those who responded, thanks! I'll take meerkat3's advise and buy one roll.

Thanks to everyone who responded. The descriptions really helped me out.

stampcrazzzy - your cards put me over the edge to go ahead and buy some.

Thanks again!
