Alendel Memento Fabric

6 colourways of an embroidery with a 16 in horizontal repeat, 55 in wide

Alendel lists Memento as an embroidery in 6 colourways, in 8% zari, at 55 in wide. The colours run Serene, Whisper, Candle, Pesto, Bliss and Allure, across the grey, beige, green and blue families. All 6 flagged in stock by Alendel. It sits in Alendel's Paradise Cove Book and Piece Goods book.

At 55 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. Alendel gives the repeat as horizontal 16 in; we match it across every seam and every window in the room, which adds yardage and is part of the quote. The viscose is what gives it the lustre; it is lined for the sun and kept out of wet rooms. It weighs 0.75 lb per yard by Alendel's listing, which is on the light side. Care is P (professional dry clean); Alendel's own line reads: professional dry clean. Alendel lists no fire test for it, so it is a residential cloth unless a treated lining or a certificate is arranged for the project. Country of origin, as Alendel lists it: India.
