Description
The Hebden curtains are a fully lined pencil pleat pair woven from 100% cotton on the face, hung here in a soft mole stripe. The stripe runs vertically down each drop, a warm greige tone set against a pale ground, and the cotton face is lightweight rather than heavy, so the fabric falls into soft vertical folds rather than stiff columns. Every SKU is a pair of curtains, and the range runs across a spread of drops and widths, so you can match the fabric to a small window or a wide patio door.
Pencil pleat is the most flexible heading to live with. The gathered tape at the top pulls up to fit your track or pole and threads onto standard curtain hooks, which means these will sit happily on the wooden pole shown or on a concealed track. Lightweight cotton and a relaxed stripe suit a living room, a bedroom or a study where you want pattern without weight, and the neutral mole palette sits easily beside oak, warm greys and natural textures. The vertical stripe has the useful effect of drawing the eye upward, which flatters a room with a lower ceiling.
The curtains are fully lined, and the lining is a polyester and cotton blend behind the cotton face; the lining adds a little privacy and cuts some of the daylight without blocking it out entirely, so mornings stay soft rather than dark. Cotton is a breathable, hard-wearing natural fibre that takes colour well and holds a crisp stripe. Dress the folds by hand after hanging and run your hand down each pleat to set the drape. The mole stripe is one of a wider Hebden range, so you can carry the look through adjoining rooms.

Frequently Asked
Is this one curtain or a pair?
Every Hebden order is a pair of curtains, so you receive two drops to dress both sides of your window from a single purchase.
Will pencil pleat curtains fit my pole or my track?
Pencil pleat is a flexible heading that gathers to fit and threads onto standard hooks, so it works on both a curtain pole and a concealed track.
How much light do these block out?
They are fully lined rather than blackout lined, so the lining reduces daylight and adds privacy while still letting a soft light through in the morning.
What are the fabric and lining made from?
The face is 100% cotton, a breathable natural fibre that holds the woven stripe well, and the lining is a polyester and cotton blend behind it.
What sizes are available?
The range runs from 117 by 137cm up to 229 by 229cm per pair, so there is a drop and width to suit most windows and patio doors.
How do I get the folds to hang neatly?
After hanging, dress the pleats by hand and run your fingers down each fold, which helps the lightweight cotton settle into an even vertical drape.
