Hebden Striped Cotton Pencil Pleat Curtains - Natural

These Hebden curtains are made with a 100% cotton face woven into a fine vertical stripe, the natural tan lines running against a soft off-white ground. Cotton is a breathable, natural fibre that hangs with real weight and body, and here the pencil pleat header draws the fabric into even, close gathers so the folds fall in a regular ribbon from pole to floor. Behind the cotton face sits a blackout lining, so the curtains do their decorative work on the room side and their light-blocking work on the window side. They come as a pair and are offered in eight made-up sizes, from 117 x 137cm up to 229 x 229cm, measured width across the pair by drop.

The stripe is quiet enough to sit in almost any room without competing with what is already there. It suits a bedroom where the blackout lining earns its place, keeping early daylight out until you are ready for it, and it works equally in a living room where you want warmth and softness at the window without a bold pattern. The neutral palette sits happily beside wood furniture, linen upholstery and greenery, and the vertical line has a lengthening effect that flatters a tall window or a modest one alike.

Choose your size by measuring the width of your track or pole, not the window, and remember a pencil pleat curtain is gathered from a wider flat panel, so it needs that fullness to hang well. The pencil pleat tape lets you draw the heading tighter or looser and takes standard curtain hooks, so the same pair works on a pole or a track. The cotton face and polyester lining ask for gentle laundering to keep the fabric and the blackout backing in good order. Hang them with a simple pole and let the stripe do the rest, or pair them with a plain roller blind underneath for layered light control.

Are these curtains sold as a pair?

Yes, each size is supplied as a pair of curtains, so the width you select is the total across both panels when gathered.

How do I choose the right size?

Measure the width of your curtain pole or track rather than the window, and pick the drop that reaches your sill or floor as you prefer.

Do the curtains block out light?

Yes, they have a blackout lining behind the cotton face, which keeps daylight at bay and is well suited to a bedroom.

What does a pencil pleat header mean for hanging?

The heading tape gathers the fabric into slim vertical pleats and takes standard curtain hooks, so it works on both a pole and a track.

What is the face fabric made from?

The face is 100% cotton, a breathable natural fibre that hangs with weight and gives a soft, relaxed drape at the window.
