Consider the wool curtain: at once an effective insulator and a layer of modern elegance, wool drapery is a centuries-old solution. Light filtering but also warming, panels can be used in front of windows and doors, or as a room partitioner à la Austrian architect Adolf Loos. Here are our favorite options from upholstery textiles by the yard to ready-cut panels.
Above: Nordic Knots recently launched their collection of wool curtains, called The Grand, in an array of colors and cut in a double wide panel (110 inches) available at custom lengths; starting at $390 per double wide panel.
Above: The Linwood Ollaberry/Roxburgh Fabric is made of pure new wool of a good weight for drapery. Contact Linwood for pricing by the yard.
Above: Designers Studio Oink often opt for the Kvadrat Divina uholstery fabric for wool curtains. Designed by Finn Sködt, the fabric is available in 27 different color options, all sold by the yard through Kvadrat. Contact Kvadrat for price and ordering information.
