Holland & Sherry Haystack
Wool jacquard, 4 colourways, 64% wool, 36% linen, 58 in wide. Holland & Sherry's own figures, and how we make it up as draperies in our Fort Lauderdale workroom, from the cloth your designer orders.
A wool jacquard at 58 in, in 4 colourways
Haystack is a wool jacquard from Holland & Sherry, in their Western Skies collection (64% wool, 36% linen, 58 in wide, made in Chile). The range runs to 4 colourways: Snowy Day, Gooch Hill, Bang Tail and West Creek. Their spec sheet gives its end use as "Upholstery, drapery, wall upholstery, soft goods, and accessories".
At 58 in it is cut up the roll like a conventional drapery cloth: a wide panel is made of joined widths, with each seam hidden inside a pleat or a ripplefold wave. Holland & Sherry's sheet gives the direction as up the roll. Holland & Sherry give the repeat as 10.24 in across, 5.12 in down; we match it across every seam and from window to window, which adds yardage and is figured into the order.
Wool is naturally flame resistant but not sun resistant: it fades and weakens in direct sun, so it is lined, and on unshaded south or west glass it wants a solar shade in front of it. It can stretch a little over time in humid air, and like silk it is a protein fibre that wants an air-conditioned room rather than a house closed up for the summer (what each fibre does). It weighs 21 oz per linear yard (660 g per linear metre) by Holland & Sherry's figures.
Their drapery note advises hanging the drapery before it is hemmed, so the cloth settles to the room, and lining every drapery, to block the light and protect the face.

What Haystack does at the window, and what it does not
Best use
We would make Haystack up as tailored panels, pinch pleat or ripplefold, lined, for a bedroom, a study or a living room that wants the warmth of a suiting cloth.
Light and privacy
An opaque cloth, so privacy is complete when it is closed. The lining sets the light: a light-filtering sateen keeps a room glowing, an interlining adds body and quiet, a blackout lining turns a bedroom dark (lining guide).
Cloth and care
64% wool, 36% linen; 21 oz per linear yard (660 g per linear metre); Martindale 14,000 rubs. Care, by Holland & Sherry's sheet: professional dry clean only.
Limitations
Not for unshaded south or west glass on its own: the sun fades natural fibres, so a shade goes in front of it there. At 58 in a wide panel is made of joined widths, and the repeat is matched at every seam, which costs yardage. No NFPA 701 result in Holland & Sherry's data, so a condo common area or a commercial job that asks for it needs the cloth flame treated with a certificate, if Holland & Sherry can supply it that way, or another cloth.

How Haystack becomes draperies in your home
Your designer specifies
Holland & Sherry sell to the trade, so the cloth is chosen and ordered by your designer, with the colour code and the sample in hand. Not working with a designer? Tell us; we can suggest a cloth we order ourselves.
We measure and give the yardage
We measure the windows, settle the style, the fullness and the lining, and work out the yardage on the width and the repeat, so the order to Holland & Sherry is right the first time.
We make and install
The cloth comes to our Fort Lauderdale workroom, where our five in-house seamstresses cut and sew the draperies, and our own installers hang them on the rod, track or motorized system the window calls for.
Where Haystack works here
We have made Holland & Sherry wool up before: at the Ritz-Carlton Residences Miami Beach the designer's schedule called for two Holland & Sherry wool jacquards, made up as blackout drapery on Lutron Sivoia QS tracks, the reversible flannel hung with its lighter face outward as specified. Haystack would be made the same way: lined, for an air-conditioned room, with a shade in front of it on bright glass.
For the same use, compare Haystack with Rockslide (wool linen texture, 55 in, 6 colourways), Livingston (brushed alpaca wool, 57 in, 6 colourways) and Cheyenne (wool jacquard, 53 in, 5 colourways).
Haystack: frequently asked

4 colourways on Holland & Sherry's site when we read it on October 7, 2026: Snowy Day, Gooch Hill, Bang Tail and West Creek. Every one is listed on this page with its code; Holland & Sherry's photographs of each are on their own site, linked from the table.
Can I buy Haystack from you?
No. Holland & Sherry sell to the trade, so your designer orders the cloth from them. We make it up and install it: we measure and work out the yardage, the cloth is sent to our Fort Lauderdale workroom, and our seamstresses cut and sew the draperies.
Do you match the Haystack repeat?
Always. Holland & Sherry give the repeat as 10.24 in across, 5.12 in down; we match it at every seam and from window to window, so the yardage your designer orders is worked out on the repeat.
How is Haystack cleaned?
By Holland & Sherry's sheet: professional dry clean only. For dust between cleanings, their care note says to brush gently or vacuum with an upholstery attachment. More in cleaning shades and drapery.
What does Haystack cost made up as draperies?
The cloth is bought through your designer at Holland & Sherry's price, so our quote covers what we make and install: the fabrication, the lining, the track or rod and the installation, worked out from the measure. Ask for a workroom price with the button above and we come back with a figure, not a range.
