What gives the pattern its two tones?
The scrolling florals and stars are worked so that a deeper olive-yellow layer shows through the shapes on the pale butter-yellow base. This layering of fabric on fabric is the heart of applique, and it gives the design a soft two-tone outline across the whole panel.
What kind of room does pale yellow suit?
Pale butter yellow is warm and light. It looks good against white, grey or soft blue walls, with light wood, cane and white upholstery. It suits a breakfast nook, a child's room, a bedroom or any space where you want a sunny colour that stays gentle.
What size are the curtains in this set?
There are two curtains, each 44 x 84 inches, which is roughly 3.5 x 7 feet. That gives you a panel for each side of a window or door; measure your drop against the 84-inch length before ordering.
Will each curtain look slightly different?
Possibly, in small ways. Each curtain is handcrafted, so minor irregularities in the shapes and stitching are natural. Colour hues can also look a little different on your screen than in person. These are the marks of handmade work.
Who makes these curtains?
They are handcrafted in Barmer by a women's self-help group led by master artisan Khetaram. The group's handwork is what gives the scrolls and stars their layered, stitched finish on the cotton base.
