What is special about the header on this curtain?
The top is a wide band of open X-lattice knotting, deep enough to read clearly from across the room. Below it, long loose strands fall freely. Because the header is wide and airy, the curtain looks as much like a piece of wall art as a window covering.
How do the strands fall?
Loosely and straight, from the bottom of the lattice band to the hem. They hang as separate lines below the header, so you can part them by hand, which is handy when it hangs in a doorway.
What does a 5 x 4 feet curtain suit?
It is 5 feet long and 4 feet wide: a wide but shorter drop. That suits broad windows, a wall above a sofa or bed, or the space above a console where you want width without floor-length strings. Measure the width of the window or wall area before you order.
Will it keep the room private?
Not on its own. The open knotting is made to let light filter through, so it softens a view rather than hiding it. For bedrooms or street-facing windows, layer a plain curtain or blind behind it and keep the macrame in front for the look.
Is it white or cream?
It is off-white, a soft shade with a hint of cream, not a bright white. Colour can look slightly different from screen to screen. The shade blends with beige, wood and terracotta tones and looks warm against a white wall.
How do I care for it?
Spot clean only, using a soft brush or a damp cloth on the marked area. Avoid machine washing and don't submerge it in water. Work gently over the lattice header so the knots are not pulled.
