Fabric details

FabricBJ-04

Tamsin is a double-sided melange weave with a tweedy, crosshatched surface. Light and dark yarns are mixed through the cloth with short, pale slubs scattered across it, so each color reads as a textured blend rather than a flat shade, even in the deep, mossy Olive. It is dense and matte, and it hangs in deep, regular folds.

Our blackout fabrics are woven tightly enough to block the light themselves, so there is no liner. Many blackout curtains add a stiff liner; ours stay soft and flexible.

Ready-made: a leading retailer's woven panel with a sewn-in blackout liner, 48″ × 96″, its nearest size. Custom workroom: a designer custom maker's woven pinch-pleat panel with a blackout liner, 50″ × 96″. List prices from their product pages, November 2026.

A deep, grounded Olive

Olive is a deep, mossy green with enough pale slub to show the weave. It made our bedroom feel grounded and blocks the late afternoon sun very effectively.

Textured Greige worth the effort

Greige worked well in our minimalist living room because it is textured without reading as a pattern. These are true heavyweight curtains, so hanging them was a two-person job, but the finished look is worth it.

Warm Flax has a tailored weight

The Warm Flax Tamsin looks like a dense tweed and has a beautiful crosshatched surface. It is heavier than a typical curtain panel, which gives the pleats a consistent shape from top to hem.

FAQs

The answers people ask us most. Still unsure? Talk to a person.

How do I measure?

Measure your rod tip to tip, ignoring the finials, and divide by the number of panels. Fullness is sewn in, so don't add any. For length, measure from the eye of a ring straight down to the floor. On a track, measure from the top of the track to the floor and subtract 1″. Read the measuring guide

Which pleat should I choose?

The pleat is the sewn top of the curtain. Double pinch is the classic and is included in the base price. Triple pinch is fuller and more formal, tailored pleats are clean and modern, and box pleats sit flat and crisp.

Can I see the colors first?

Yes. Order up to 5 free swatches of the real fabric and see the colors in your own light. They're yours to keep.

What do the light levels mean?

Every curtain sits on a four-step scale from sheer to blackout. Tamsin is blackout: it blocks the daylight.

What if my floor isn't level?

Panels arrive with adjustable hooks already on. Raise or lower a panel at its hooks to level the hem.

Do I need tiebacks?

They're optional: one per panel, in the same fabric, $19 each. Tamsin is made unlined.

When will it arrive, and can I cancel?

It's made to order and delivered in 2–3 weeks. Cancel free within 12 hours; after that, a 25% fee covers the fabric and labor already committed. Because it's sewn to your size there are no returns, but any defect is replaced.
