Wintergrass is natural raffia which has been stripped, combined with a strong polycotton  and woven on a thick warp to make curtain.

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.

The edges are also finished with a neat blanket trim. It is made to order according to customers dimensions.

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.)
