Hello, this is Tushar from Charu Creation Pvt Ltd, a fashion fabric company at Nehru Place, New Delhi. So friends, Cotton Cambric is a type of fine, lightweight and plain weave fabric made from Cotton Yarns. The plain tight weave is a characteristic feature of cambric fabric which lends a smooth & silky appearance to the final product.
Its yarn count ranges between 60 and 80 English Cotton Count. Please remember, in the English Cotton Yarn count system, the larger the number the finer the yarn and vice versa. Cambric fabric goes through a process called ‘calendering’. This technique involves passing the fabric through heated rollers. It is this process that makes the fibres tighter and lends a stiff and glossy appearance to the cambric fabric. If you are looking for a fabric that holds its shape well, then cotton cambric is the fabric for you.
It is surprising to know that good quality cambric fabric is capable of retaining its glossiness and stiffness for years, regardless of fabric ageing. Cambric is an excellent fabric for embroidery and lacework because of its high density. Cambric is commonly used in the manufacturing of a variety of different readymade clothes such as women’s tops, gowns, dresses, men’s shirts and other garments. This fabric is a woman’s delight in summers. Cotton Cambric is also quite often used as a lining material.
It is also sometimes used as the backing material for needle works and artworks. Because cotton cambric fabric launders easily and well, it is ideal for for making products like napkins, handkerchiefs, innerwear, nightgowns, slips & children’s dresses. Cotton Cambric also finds its usefulness in making curtains. Even my office has curtains made of cotton cambric. Most varieties of Cambrics are quite opaque but some varieties of cambrics could be semi-transparent.
It is recommended to set your washing machine to sixty degrees when washing cambric clothing. It is best to avoid using a hot iron when eliminating creases from your cambric garment.

Hello, this is Tushar Bhatia from Charu Creation Pvt. Ltd. So, this Buyer’s Guide series on Curtains will consist of videos on topics like Types Of Curtains, opacity, curtain style, materials, curtain pattern, curtain length, curtain features, etc. In the last video, I explained different Types of Curtains & Opacity of curtains. In this video, I will explain different Curtain Styles and Curtain Materials
A) Curtain Styles So the first type of curtain style is 1. Casual: Casual curtains are a popular choice in bedrooms, bathrooms, and kitchens. Casual curtains will lend themselves to an easy, not-too-serious vibe. These curtains often feature grommet and eyelet or tab top attachments, and they’re rarely used with a valance.
2. Classic: Classic styles are universally popular in any room in the home. Classic curtains are often used with valances and additional accessories to create full window treatments. These curtains feature a classic, timeless appeal and are often seen in design styles like classical, country and bohemian styles.
3. Contemporary: Contemporary curtains provide a fresh interpretation of classic styles. They’re most commonly available in shades of grey and earthy tones that are inspired by nature. Sometimes, brighter and bolder colors are used to provide a pop of color in an otherwise subdued space. Contemporary curtains often feature rich textures and provide a sophisticated look that isn’t overly styled or pretentious. 4. Modern: Modern curtains generally reflect modern design in general. Modern designs are usually minimal and often incorporate metal along with eco-friendly materials as well. While solid colors are ever popular with modern curtains, bold patterns with clean lines or abstract elements are also very popular. Depending on the style of the room, modern curtains can create a powerful design statement Another important factor when selecting curtains is the materials they’re constructed from.
A curtains material serves several purposes beyond being decorative. Thinner materials are used to create sheer or semi-sheer materials while thicker materials are used in semi-opaque and blackout curtains. Depending on the materials, the curtains may also possess additional features as well.
1. Cotton: Cotton is a popular choice for many different applications. Cotton is semi-sheer, so it lets in lots of light while still providing a moderate level of privacy. Cotton curtains are often layered with other fabrics to create a complete window treatment. You’ll see cotton curtains in many different styles, and it’s a viable choice for any room in the home. Cotton curtains are also easy to clean, which makes them even more versatile.
2. Linen: Linen curtains are a bit heavier than cotton, while still maintaining an easy, casual vibe. They let in a moderate level of light while providing an additional level of privacy. Linen can be a bit more difficult to clean than cotton. It’s probably not the best choice for dusty environments as the rough texture of linen can act as a magnet for dust.
3. Velvet: Velvet curtains are another popular material. This material is best if you’re looking for the most privacy possible. The heavy material also keeps out drafts and reduces outside noise. Velvet is a popular choice for bedrooms with light-sensitive sleepers. It’s also a great fabric to use to create a more dramatic effect on your windows. Velvet is usually cleaned professionally, as it’s a difficult fabric to clean. So, if upkeep is a concern, you may want to steer clear of this fabric.
4. Silk: Silk is a beautiful and luxurious fabric that is used to produce a broad range of different types of curtains.
It’s semi-sheer and depending on how thick the silk is, it may let in lots of light, or a limited amount of light. Silk is a popular material in classic and contemporary curtain styles. Silk is difficult to clean, and usually, requires professional help for cleaning. So, you may want to consider the upkeep costs before investing in silk curtains.
In this video which happens to be the first one i will describe different types of curtains: A) Types of Curtains: So the first type of curtain is 1) Panel Pair: Panel pair curtains feature two separate curtain panels. This type of curtain is popular in classic and contemporary styles. With a panel pair, you place a curtain on either side of the window.
To close these curtains, you’d pull each panel together. Panel pair curtains can be tied back to create a symmetrical look for your window treatment. 2) Single Panel: With a single panel curtain, one panel covers the entire window. The panel can be pulled to either side to open, and it can be tied back to create a modern, asymmetrical look. These types of curtains are popular in modern and casual styles. 3) Window Treatment Set: A window treatment set includes everything you’ll need to create a full window treatment. A window treatment set almost always includes one or two curtains and a valance. Some window kits also include accessories like tiebacks and a curtain rod. 4) Valance: A valance is a short curtain that hangs at the top of your curtains. These are an optional decorative addition. Valances are a great way to complete a look. These curtains are available separately, or as part of a window treatment set.
You can use a valance without additional curtains in windows with blinds, or to add a decorative flair on windows where full curtains aren’t desired. 5. Window Scarf: A window scarf is similar to a valance. It’s a long, thin piece of curtain fabric that is hung from the top of the window. Window scarfs are a great way to create a dramatic look with your window treatment. 6. Liner Curtain: liners are another optional add-on, and they’re used to provide an additional level of versatility to your curtains. Many people opt to add a liner with sheer curtains, so they have more options when it comes to privacy, and light allowance. Curtain liners often have additional features as well.
For example, they may be thermal, or noise-blocking. The second factor that one should consider before buying curtains is Opacity. Different opacity curtains suit the needs of different rooms and applications. To determine which curtains you need, ask yourself some questions. -: Do you want the curtains to let through some sunlight when they’re drawn or none at all? -:
How much privacy do you need your curtains to provide? -: Do you need your curtains to provide additional features, besides its decorative function? So, if we categorize curtains according to opacity then the first type of curtain is the
a) Sheer Curtain: Thin, semi-transparent fabrics are the basis of sheer curtains. These curtains provide the most daylight in a room when the curtain is closed. Sheer curtains also provide the least amount of privacy, and they serve any additional purpose beyond being decorative. This kind of curtain is most popular in living rooms and dining rooms. Some decorators add a liner to sheer curtains. In doing this, you’re able to enjoy the beauty of your sheer curtains while also being able to benefit from added privacy and additional features.
b) Semi-Opaque: Semi-Opaque curtains are like a blend between sheer curtains and blackout curtains. They allow some daylight into the room when they’re closed. They also provide more privacy than sheer curtains. These curtains are a popular choice for any application.
c) Blackout: Blackout curtains allow the least amount of light to enter a room when they’re closed. These curtains are made of heavier weight materials and often have built-in linings. Blackout curtains provide the most privacy, and they often have additional features beyond their decorative purpose. People often use blackout curtains in bedrooms, dens, theaters, or any other area where keeping out natural light is a concern. Sometimes, blackout curtains are used behind sheer curtains to provide additional features and a more polished look than what you can achieve with a simple curtain liner.
