A good range of affordable fabrics in natural fibres: cotton, linen and cotton/linen mixes for curtains, blinds, and soft furnishings. Fabrics that we consider suitable for heavy use are categorised as upholstery fabrics in the on-line shop. Others may be appropriate for fixed upholstery receiving medium to light use.

Simple stripes, plaids and cotton ticking by Ian Mankin as well as subtly textured and embroidered plains give ample choice and a fresh, airy, contemporary effect.We now have a super range of plain coloured lightweight fine linens that are suitable for dressmaking and curtains.

The majority of these fabrics are woven in the UK, modestly priced and are available off the roll. For bespoke curtains see our Made to Measure pages, advice in measuring and care of fabrics is set out in the Help & Information section.

Tinsmiths stock tried and tested curtain poles and can advise on the most suitable blind and curtain fitting.
