{"product_id":"threads-balandra","title":"Threads | Balandra","description":"\u003cp\u003eBalandra is a finely textured linen weave from the Threads Faraway collection, with a very small structure, just 2 by 1 centimetres, that gives the surface a soft, granular quality rather than a visible pattern. It is close enough to a plain that the texture only shows itself in raking light, across a fold or along a curtain heading, which is exactly the quiet effect we look for in a considered room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cloth is 100 per cent linen, 137 centimetres wide, with a 2 centimetre vertical and 1 centimetre horizontal repeat, small enough to be treated as a plain for cutting purposes. The page lists it for curtains rather than upholstery, and there is no published rub count, so we keep it to windows. It comes in a single colourway, Linen, a warm, natural tone that sits close to raw flax and works with almost any scheme.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe tend to use Balandra for full-length curtains in a living room or bedroom, where the fine texture adds quiet depth without taking on colour or pattern, and for Roman blinds in a kitchen or bathroom where a flat panel shows the grain at its best. Pair it with a Faraway print on cushions or an occasional chair. Sold by the half metre; order a sample to see it in your own light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the repeat is so small, quantities are simply drop times width, but linen shows any variation along the roll, so cut all the pieces for one window from the same bolt of cloth. Line and interline the curtains for weight and to protect the linen from strong sun, and dry clean only rather than washing it at home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComposition:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% linen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 137 cm (54 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePattern repeat:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 cm vertical, 1 cm horizontal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSuitable for:\u003c\/strong\u003e Curtains\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e Do not wash; dry clean professionally, do not bleach and do not iron\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCollection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Faraway, Threads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColourways:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 (Linen)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Threads","offers":[{"title":"Linen","offer_id":58056242954622,"sku":"ED85339.110","price":69.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sample - Linen","offer_id":58056242987390,"sku":"SAMPLE-ED85339.110","price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/9880\/0766\/files\/ED85339_110.png?v=1789773831","url":"https:\/\/shop.tobiasoliverinteriors.com\/products\/threads-balandra","provider":"Tobias Oliver","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
