How does the curtain look once it's hanging?
A knotted X-lattice band runs along the top, and from it long cotton strings fall in straight vertical lines to a loose fringe. It reads as texture and line rather than a flat sheet of fabric, which gives a window or doorway a light, handmade look.
Is 6 x 3 feet the right size for my space?
This curtain is 6 feet long and 3 feet wide. The 3-foot width suits a narrow window, a small single door or a slim wall section beside a cupboard. Measure your opening and decide where you want the strings to end; on an opening wider than 3 feet, it will cover only part of it.
How much light does it let in?
Quite a lot. It is open knotted work, made to let light filter through, so the room stays bright behind it. It won't darken a room or give full privacy on its own, so pair it with a plain curtain behind if you need that.
What shade of white is it?
It is off-white, a softer shade than a bright white. Colour can look slightly different on different screens. Off-white sits easily with warm wood, cane and beige tones, and it also softens a stark white or grey wall.
Will mine look exactly like the pictures?
Very close, but not identical. Each curtain is knotted by hand, so you may see small differences in tension, knot spacing or fringe ends. These minor irregularities are part of handmade macrame and are what make each piece its own.
Can I wash it?
It is better not to. Spot clean it with a soft brush or a damp cloth where it has marks, and avoid both machine washing and submerging it in water. Work gently and only on the area that needs it.
