4" / 10cm Crinoline with Draw-String
Perfect for delicate trims, narrow brims, and refined bows, our 4" (10cm) plain crinoline with draw-string offers versatile structure in a more compact width. This essential millinery netting provides lightweight stiffness and easy manipulation, making it ideal for smaller-scale designs and detailed work.
What is Crinoline?
Crin, as crinoline is commonly called, is a netting made from polypropylene. It comes in various widths, colors, patterns, metallic threads and also pleated, and even tubular. Lightweight and stiff, crinoline can be used for making brims and trims, and to reinforce bows. The fiber is chemically treated to make it stiffer, will melt and harden, and is not dye-able, but can be manipulated in a variety of ways.
Why Choose 10cm Width Crinoline?
The 4" / 10cm width is perfect for applications where you need structure without bulk. It's ideal for smaller fascinators, narrow hat brims, delicate bows, and refined trims. The draw-string edge allows you to create gentle curves and gathered effects, making this width particularly versatile for detailed millinery work where precision matters.
