Hebden Striped Cotton Pencil Pleat Curtains - Honey Yellow

The Hebden is a pencil pleat curtain with a face woven from 100% cotton, printed in an upright honey-gold and cream stripe that runs the full drop. It is sold as a pair and offered across a range of sizes, from 117 x 137cm up to 229 x 229cm, so there is a width and drop to suit most standard windows and larger bays. The face is pure cotton, a natural fibre that hangs with weight and body, and the reverse carries a blackout lining that blocks daylight rather than merely filtering it.

These suit a bedroom where you want the room dark until you choose to wake, and the blackout lining does exactly that job. The soft stripe keeps the look relaxed rather than formal, so the curtains sit as happily in a living room or a study as they do at a bedroom window. The honey tones read as a warm neutral and work against pale walls, natural wood and unbleached flooring, the kind of quiet backdrop that lets the stripe do the talking without competing with the rest of the room.

The pencil pleat header gathers the fabric into even upright folds and hangs from standard curtain hooks, so these go up on a track or a pole without special fittings. Being a cotton face with a polyester and acrylic-backed lining, they are best treated gently to protect the blackout coating. When you measure, remember a curtain size is stated as the width of the single panel by the drop, and you want the combined pair to be wider than your window so the fabric gathers properly rather than pulling flat. If you like this stripe, it is worth checking the wider Hebden range for matching pieces.

Are these curtains fully blackout?

Yes, the reverse carries a blackout lining that blocks daylight rather than just softening it, which keeps a bedroom dark in the mornings.

What does pencil pleat mean for hanging them?

The header gathers the fabric into even upright folds and takes standard curtain hooks, so they hang from a normal track or pole without special fittings.

Is the face really pure cotton?

Yes, the face is 100% cotton, a natural fibre that gives the curtains weight and body so they hang and drape well.

How do I know which size to order?

Each size is the width of a single panel by the drop, sold as a pair. Choose a combined width wider than your window so the fabric gathers properly.

What colour is the stripe?

The stripe is a warm honey gold against a cream ground, reading as a soft neutral that works with pale walls and natural wood.
