They offer a more dramatic and opulent finish and are an ideal choice if you would like your curtains to be a stylish focal point in your space.

Where should I use these curtains?
Well, that is up to you really! Our gorgeous pencil pleat sheers can be used just about anywhere in your home. However, if you are sensitive to the light or sleep during the day due to work and other commitments, then you may prefer block out curtains or blinds in the bedroom. These will block out 100% of the light, meaning that you will not have to get up just because the sun has. You could also pair these sheer pencil pleats with another set of pleats made from heavier fabrics. This will give you multiple options when it comes to blocking out the light, as well as being a stylish and fashionable choice.
How do I hang pencil pleat sheer curtains?
That does depend on which of our pencil pleat sheers you have chosen, and we always recommend reading the instructions that come with your product thoroughly before you begin. Pencil pleat curtains can be hung by either hooks on a curtain track or using curtain rings on a rod. Once your gathers are even and your pleats are pleated, it is time to put the hooks or gliders on that will attach your curtains to your curtain track. Count out how many curtain hooks you have, and then ensure that these are distributed evenly throughout your heading tape. Then either clip the hooks directly onto your curtain track or onto your curtain rings.
How should I wash my new curtains?
Well, that does depend on which of our pencil pleat sheer curtains you have chosen, and we always recommend that you read the manufacturer's care instructions before you begin. Unless it specifically states otherwise, we do not recommend that you wash your sheer curtains in the washing machine. Hand-wash your pencil pleat sheer curtains gently, using an appropriate detergent and a whitening agent if necessary. You should always hang your sheer curtains to dry, and never tumble dry them or wash them in high temperatures. Excessive heat can destroy the delicate fibres. Most of our sheer curtains will not require ironing, yet if you do have creases you can hang your curtains damp and these should drop out on their own. If you do want to iron your curtains, warm ironing, but not too hot, is recommended and a barrier cloth is advised. Finally, always avoid the use of any harsh chemicals and abrasive solutions, including chlorine and bleach.
