			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Coral Stephens was founded on <strong>mohair curtaining</strong>.  It is our speciality and passion and as always follows an entirely hand made process – from spinning and dyeing to weaving.</p>
<p><span id="more-12"></span><br />
<strong>Ideal for Curtaining….</strong><br />
Mohair yarns is ideal for curtaining: it has a good weight but remains light, looks sophisticated, drapes well, has a silken sheen and luster which a synthetic fabric cannot achieve.  Whether dyed in a rich, plain colour or left in its natural chalk state – it performs beautifully.  It is also highly durable and being an organic fiber is an excellent insulator and will add depth and beauty to any room.<br />
Hand spinning brings a subtle edge to the fabric as it creates a unique flow and feel which can never be replicated in any other way.</p>
<p><strong>Customise….</strong><br />
Mohair is woven in a standard fine yarn, but different plies and thicknesses can be incorporated into the weave to create variations in texture.  Colour can be matched to suit a room scheme and pattern using one or several colours can be woven.</p>
<p><strong>Care…</strong><br />
Curtaining should be made up by a reputable curtain maker and requires lining if in a light or sunny position.  Dry clean infrequently.  Already moth proofed.  We do not make up the curtains and can supply in cut lengths/drops or on a roll.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Wintergrass</strong></p>
<p>Wintergrass is natural raffia which has been stripped, combined with a strong polycotton  and woven on a thick warp to make curtain.</p>
<p>It is woven in panels and joined to achieve the correct final curtain height.  There are a variety of ways to join the panel,  a light crochet stitch, detailed loop or a machine stitch.</p>
<p>The edges are also finished with a neat blanket trim. It is made to order according to customers dimensions.</p>
<p>It has an outdoor, organic and tactile  feel and does not fade easily.  It is ideal for bush lodges and outdoor areas (although does need protection against the elements.)</p>
