Alendel Karma Fabric

48 colourways of plain from Brick to Dustyrose, 54 in wide

Karma is a plain from Alendel, listed in 48 colourways, in 60% polyester, 30% cotton and 10% linen, at 54 in wide. The colours run Brick, Lemon, Dustyrose, Sealife, Begonia, Cardinal, Basil, Breeze and 40 more, across the red, yellow, pink, blue, green and purple families. All 48 flagged in stock by Alendel. It sits in Alendel's Karma II Book and Karma Book.

At 54 in it is cut up the roll like a conventional drapery cloth: a panel joins widths at the seam, which sits inside a pleat, and a Roman shade takes one width up to roughly 50 inches finished before it needs a joined width. The linen in it relaxes and tightens with the humidity, which is the look, and like every natural fibre it wants a lining that takes the UV rather than the face cloth. It weighs 0.64 lb per yard by Alendel's listing, which is on the light side. Care is P (professional dry clean); Alendel's own line reads: dry clean. It carries CAL 117, NFPA 260 and UFAC Class 1, the upholstery flammability listings; and FMVSS 302, the automotive interior test. Every colourway is listed as Oeko-Tex. Country of origin, as Alendel lists it: India.
