This fabric has a subtle, light linen texture look, which gives a depth to your Windows without letting the texture dominate other fabrics in the room,  but it is absolutely silky to the touch!  They are sheers with just a little opacity in the nickel color.  I cannot describe how beautifully they softly hang and drape.  I bought them in 120" length for I have very long windows and I also wanted to be able to use holdbacks.  I bought in both white and nickel.  I love the nickel color.  It is much more subtle a color than depicted.  It will blend with any paint color, grey, stripes, any color.  My windows look gorgeous and elegant.  My windows are huge, and I was afraid drapes would make them dominate the room, but these sheers, particularly the nickel color, just add a light softness to the room.  

Pros: color and texture are outstanding.
