Curtains have their own priorities: how they hang, how they filter light, and how they wear. The yarn choice drives all three.
What matters for curtains
- Drape: viscose and blends fall softly for elegant folds.
- Body: cotton and medium counts give structured, opaque curtains.
- Light & sheers: fine counts for voile and sheer panels.
- Durability & fade resistance: polyester blends and colour-fast dyed yarn for long life.
Weave and finish
