Made to Measure Roman Blinds

Will your woven linen fabrics make beautiful Made to Measure roman blinds?

Yes absolutely! Our Made to Measure curtains from the Scandinavian Woven Linens are a must. There is something very special about hand woven fabrics, which in this case are hand-loomed with incredible expertise and love.

Most are made from 100% Linen, with the Malmo in Linen Union. These fabrics are a beautiful collection of timeless woven stripes where the pattern is integrated into the fabric through weaving rather than printing. The yarns are dyed and then intricately woven together.

The IKAT part of the stripe, (a characteristic of IKAT fabrics is an apparent irregular "blurriness" to the design), is created here by screen printing the colour onto the warp (north to south) threads, and then the weft (west to east) is woven across them producing the irregular and famous IKAT shapes.

Vanessa loves the colour and texture of woven fabrics, as well as the handle and feel of the spun yarns. Designing the Scandinavian woven fabrics for this collection has taught her a great deal. These Scandinavian fabrics have a strong Nordic theme, from Lapland Stripe, which is inspired by the rural life and simple landscapes of the Sami people in Lapland, to the more contemporary feel of Scandi Stripe, which she produced in two striking colourways: Warm & Cool. Nordic Stripe brings a warm chestnut brown Vanessa called "Reindeer." And last but not least, Malmo, a vibrantly coloured striped design majoring in Carrot orange, along with blue, and red embroidery diamond motifs running vertically.

Please ask for fabric samples and see the colours in your rooms. If you order a half metre returnable sample you can drape them over your existing blinds, or just in situ to where the blind will go, and see how it looks. All our fabrics are printed in the UK on a good weight of 100% Linen, and Linen Union, making them suitable for lampshades, curtains, blinds, cushions and upholstery. We hold a good stock of all our fabrics ensuring delivery is usually within 3-5 working days subject to availability. The same team, who takes your order will roll, inspect and cut it, so accuracy and quality can be assured.
