The Yard Hebden curtains are designed to bring a blend of style and functionality to your living space. In practical use, their 100% cotton fabric provides a soft, inviting texture that contributes to a cozy atmosphere. The timeless striped design in green acts as a subtle yet effective visual anchor, easily complementing existing decor in living rooms, bedrooms, or dining areas.

From a functional perspective, the integrated lining plays a crucial role. It significantly boosts privacy, making these curtains ideal for bedrooms or ground-floor living areas where discretion is valued. Furthermore, the lining provides effective light reduction, softening harsh sunlight and creating a more subdued and comfortable environment. While not a blackout solution, they are excellent for diffusing bright light and reducing glare. Their lightweight nature means they hang beautifully and consistently, creating an effortless drape that looks polished without being overly formal. They are particularly well-suited for creating a relaxed, inviting ambiance.
Measure Your Window: Before hanging, ensure the curtains are the correct size for your window. Measure the width of your track or pole and the desired drop.
Insert Hooks: Pencil pleat curtains have a tape with pockets along the top edge. Insert plastic curtain hooks into these pockets, typically skipping one or two pockets for an even gather.
Gather the Pleats: Locate the drawstrings at each end of the pleat tape. Gently pull these strings to gather the fabric until the curtain width matches your track or pole. Secure the strings by tying them off, but do not cut them in case you need to adjust later.
Attach to Track/Pole: Hook the gathered curtains onto your curtain track gliders or curtain pole rings.
Adjust Drape: Once hung, gently adjust the gathers and the fabric to achieve an even and aesthetically pleasing drape.
These pencil pleat curtains are highly versatile and compatible with most standard curtain systems:
Curtain Poles: Use with curtain rings that have an eyelet for attaching hooks.
Curtain Tracks: Compatible with curtain track gliders that have a small hole or loop for hooks.
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your 100% cotton curtains, follow these care guidelines:
Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using cold or lukewarm water (up to 30°C/85°F). Use a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach, which can damage the cotton fibers and color.
Drying: Line dry whenever possible to minimize creasing and shrinkage. If using a tumble dryer, select a low heat setting and remove while slightly damp to iron.
Ironing: Iron on a medium heat setting while the curtains are still slightly damp to remove wrinkles effectively. Use a steam iron for best results, or a dry iron with a spray of water.
Professional Cleaning: For best results and to avoid potential shrinkage, professional dry cleaning is recommended, especially for larger sizes or if unsure about home washing.
