What size rod do pinch-pleat cafe curtains need?

Pinch-pleat panels hang from hooks on a rod, so you need a rod with rings or a track that accepts hooks. Measure the rod width and choose a panel width with extra fullness so the pleats sit properly.

How do I measure for cafe curtains?

Measure the width of the rod, not the glass, and decide the drop from the rod down to where you want the curtain to end. Cafe curtains usually cover the lower half of the window, so a shorter drop is normal.

Are these curtains lined or unlined?

They are linen cafe curtains with a pinch-pleat header. Linen is typically light-filtering rather than room-darkening, so expect some daylight through the fabric.

Can I wash linen pinch-pleat curtains?

Linen can be washed, but the pleats and header need care. Check the care label, use a gentle cycle and cool water, and rehang while slightly damp so the pleats dry in shape.

Do they come as a single panel or a pair?

Cafe curtains are often sold as single panels because they cover a small window. Confirm the panel count for the width you need before ordering, since a pair may be needed for wider windows.
