  It, grosgrain, can be found here (US) in rayon, which is what I used when sewing. I still have about eight rolls of the 2.25 inch stuff. It does come in handy. The poly is OK if you are making a one-off child’s costume and actually works well with craft items, as it is so stiff. Nehmah

  Very interesting. In the US, both are called “grosgrain.” I personally detest the poly stuff so much that I won’t even call it grosgrain. It doesn’t deserve to be in the same class as the high quality ribbon. Plus, they have a different structure so they really aren’t the same thing. I’m glad to finally know what Petersham is!
