Hebden Fully Lined Cotton Pencil Pleat Curtains - Blush

These are the Hebden pencil pleat curtains, made from lightweight 100% cotton with a printed stripe that reads as a soft woven-look line. Sold as a pair, they come in a wide spread of sizes, from 117 x 137cm up to 229 x 229cm, so you can match the drop to a short bedroom window or a full-length living-room frame. The face cloth is pure cotton; the lining behind it is a polyester and cotton blend, which gives the panels a little more body and helps them hang cleanly.

The cream ground carries a fine blush stripe running top to bottom, a quiet pattern that sits well in a relaxed, pared-back room. They suit a bedroom or a sitting room where you want softness at the window without a bold print taking over, and they work happily against neutral walls, painted wood and natural flooring. The pencil pleat header gathers the fabric into even folds and threads onto a standard curtain track or a pole with rings, so they slot into most existing fittings without a rethink of the hardware.

Being cotton on the face, the cloth has a natural, matt handle and drapes softly rather than stiffly, which is what gives that easy, unforced look down the length of the panel. The lining adds a touch of weight and a little more privacy after dark. When measuring, remember the header gathers the width in, so you want a curtain considerably wider than the window for a full, gathered finish rather than a flat, stretched one. Check the drop against your track height, allowing for where you want the hem to fall. A calm, striped alternative to plain panels, they earn their place in an unfussy scheme.

Is this price for one curtain or a pair?

This is a pair of curtains, so you receive two panels, one for each side of the window, ready to hang together.

What is the fabric made from?

The face cloth is 100% cotton, which gives a soft, matt handle and an easy drape. The lining behind it is a blend of 52% polyester and 48% cotton for a little added body.

Will these fit a curtain pole or a track?

The pencil pleat header works with both. Thread it onto a track or add curtain rings and hang from a pole, whichever your window already has fitted.

How wide should my window be for these curtains?

Because a pencil pleat gathers the fabric in, choose a total curtain width well beyond your window so the panels hang in full, even folds rather than pulling flat.

Is the stripe woven in or printed on?

The stripe is printed onto the cotton to give a woven-look effect, so the pattern sits on the surface of a smooth, single-weight cloth.

Are these curtains lined?

Yes, they are fully lined, which adds weight for a cleaner drape and gives a little more privacy once the curtains are drawn in the evening.
