Fabric

Linen is a textile made from the fibers of the flax plant, Linen is generally a more expensive fabric, because the plant (Flax) needs more nurturing, and producing the relatively long fibers to make into yarn and weave is a more difficult process than something like cotton. It also makes a much finer cloth than hemp, which was cultivated in ancient times for fabric as well, but probably gave folks rug burn. It has very thin individual fibers that are longer (18-55”) than other plant fibers, so the yarn made with it is strong even when very fine. It is 2-3 times as strong as cotton, soft, lustrous and flexible.

Linen fabric breathes. Linen is non-allergic. Linen is antistatic. Linen resists stains like no other fabric. Best of all, linen is eco-friendly!

Measuring for Curtains

Measuring width

Curtain pole or track should be installed before you start your measurement.

First choose the amount of gather you’re going to need. This is the amount you will multiply the width of the rail by to calculate the width of the fabric.

All curtains need to have some ‘gather’ in order for them not to be stretched completely flat when closed. We recommend a minimum of 1.50 up to a more abundant gather of 3.00, depending on style you prefer. Standard is 2.00

Measure width of your track (from end to end) or pole, between the decorative finials (not the window!), and multiply that by the gather to get the total width.

For example, if your rails are 100” wide, and you require two curtains with a standard gather of 2.00, then you would need approx. 200” width in total, so 2 x 100” width curtains.

Measuring drop

Measure to sill + 1cm, below the sill + 15cm, to floor + 1cm.

We reccommend measure the drop in 3 places and choose the longest measurement.

Pencil pleat

Measure drop from the pole eyelets to your finished length.

Curtain Heading Styles


Pencil Pleat

Pencil Pleat Heading - The most popular heading for curtains and valances. We use a 7.5 cm (3") tape for our curtains. Pencil pleat suits all types of track and pole.

Pinch Pleat

Pinch Pleat Heading - Classic, elegant pinch pleats use more fabric and are fuller than pencil pleats. Our pleats are hand-sewn (not curtain tape) and permanently fixed for a more luxurious, tailored look. A pinch pleat is a fixed, sewn-in heading.  Pencil pleat suits all types of track and pole.

Tab top

Contemporary look tab top heading curtains have 10 cm long tabs (included in the curtain drop) and are suitable for poles up to 45mm in diameter. Tab top headings are not suitable for curtain tracks or bay windows.

Eyelet

Modern eyelet heading curtains are a great look for any interior. Eyelets are available in different colours and diameters. Tab top headings are not suitable for curtain tracks or bay windows.

Inverted pleat

Inverted pleats create a smart, formal, yet alternative look. The finished width of the curtains is fixed. Inverted pleat suits all types of track and pole.

Curtain lining


100% Cotton Lining - A lining helps your curtains & blinds hang well and proctets them from sunlight damage.

Interlining - This is a third layer between the main fabric and the lining. Interlining adds heat insulation, as well as a luxurious look and volume to your curtains.

Blackout lining - 3 pass heavy blackout lining is perfect for keeping unwanted light out of the room. This also helps to keep your home cool in the summer and warm in the winter. It adds weight to the curtain and protects the main fabric from sunlight. A great option for children’s bedrooms.

Lined and Interlined - The classic sumptuous look. This option uses two lining layers and hangs beautifully, and helps to insulate, keeping the room cosy and warm. These curtains will be heavy and require a strong pole or track.

Blackout and interlined - This option has all of the above - it blocks light, insulates and protects the main fabric. It uses two lining layers including blackout, as well as the main fabric. These curtains will be heavy and require a strong pole or track.
