Alendel Ragdoll Fabric
4 colourways, sheer, 118 in wide, railroaded. Every swatch and every Alendel specification, from the workroom that sews it in Fort Lauderdale and installs it from Miami to Palm Beach.
4 colourways of sheer from White to Limestone, 118 in wide and railroaded
Ragdoll is one of the Alendel sheers we make up here, with 4 colourways on the card, in 100% polyester, at 118 in wide, railroaded. The colours run White, Winter White, Limestone and Grey, across the white and grey families. 3 of the 4 flagged in stock by Alendel. It sits in Alendel's Big Sheer Book 2.0.
At 118 in the cloth is turned sideways and the width becomes the height, so a window wall up to about 9 ft 10 in tall carries no seam at all; that is the wide-width advantage on floor-to-ceiling glass. The repeat is vertical 11.81 in, horizontal 7.87 in, matched across seams and from window to window, so the yardage is figured on the repeat rather than the finished size. Polyester holds its pleat and its size in humid air and after cleaning, and stands up to Florida sun better than cotton or linen does. Alendel lists the weight at 0.63 lb per yard, medium-weight for a sheer. Care is WA-P (washable or dry clean); Alendel's own line reads: washable, 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. Every colourway is listed as Oeko-Tex. Country of origin, as Alendel lists it: Turkey.
What Ragdoll does at the window, and what it does not
Best use
Sheers are our most requested drapery and Ragdoll is used as one: floor to ceiling on a ceiling-mounted track, ripplefold or pinch pleat, set at 2.5 to 3 times fullness so the wave is even from end to end. The wide width means a whole wall in one piece.
Light and privacy
A sheer filters hard sunlight into an even glow and keeps the view; it takes the glare off a white sofa without hiding the water. It gives no privacy at night with the lights on, so a bedroom takes a lined or blackout panel on a second track behind it, and it is not a blackout.
Cloth and care
100% polyester; 0.63 lb per yard; care WA-P (washable or dry clean). Polyester keeps its size and its pleat in humid air and after cleaning, and holds its colour in the sun better than a natural fibre. Listed as Oeko-Tex.
Limitations
No privacy at night with the lights on, and no blackout; it is layered where either is needed. Railroaded wide-width goods are not cut into Roman shades; for a matching Roman we pick a 54 inch cloth from the same book. The seamless drop tops out at about 9 ft 10 in; a taller wall is seamed or turned back up the roll. No fire listing from Alendel, so a commercial or condo common-area job needs a certificate arranged for the project or another cloth. 1 of the 4 colour is not flagged in stock, so that colour is a mill order with a longer lead time; we confirm stock before anything is cut.

Width, content, repeat, care code, fire listings and weight per yard are Alendel's own listing for each colourway, captured from its trade catalogue; the stock flag is Alendel's public availability filter on the day we read it and is confirmed against the order before anything is cut. We bring the Alendel books to the consultation.
Where Ragdoll works here
Ragdoll is a sheer we would put on the ocean side of a Sunny Isles or Fort Lauderdale living room, floor to ceiling on a ceiling-mounted track, with the fullness set for the cloth so the wave is even from end to end. The 118 in width means the whole wall in one piece. Layered over a solar roller the room keeps its view by day; behind it a blackout panel on a second track takes care of the night.
For the same use, compare Ragdoll with Dallas 130" (sheer, 130 in railroaded, 10 colourways), Cleo (sheer, 130 in railroaded, 8 colourways) and Weber (sheer, 130 in railroaded, 8 colourways); the table on each page lists the width, content, care code, fire listings and weight side by side.
Ragdoll: frequently asked
How many colours does Alendel Ragdoll come in?
4 colourways by Alendel's listing, 3 of the 4 flagged in stock by Alendel. Every one is on this page with its swatch, colour code and FB item number, and we bring the shortlist to the consultation so the colour is judged in your own light.
Is Ragdoll in stock?
3 of the 4 flagged in stock by alendel. The flag is Alendel's public stock filter on the day we read it; colours not flagged are ordered from the mill and take longer. We confirm stock and dye lot with Alendel before anything is cut.
Does Ragdoll give privacy at night?
No sheer does once the lights are on inside. By day it filters the light and keeps the view; at night we layer a lined or blackout panel on a second track behind it, or pair it with a solar or blackout roller.
What does Ragdoll cost made up as sheers?
It is quoted from the yardage: the width and height of the window, the fullness, the repeat if there is one, the lining and the track or rod. The pricing page has real numbers for sheers, motorized tracks and blackout draperies, and a quote for Ragdoll follows from a measure. Ask for a price with the button above and we come back with a figure, not a range.
