Click here for a spider washer version of this shade.
PLEASE NOTE: When checking out, please include three things in the Special Instructions box at checkout.
- The HARDWARE DROP HEIGHT*
- Whether the Euro Fitter will be on the top or the bottom of the shade (most often, for pendant lights the fitter is on the top; and for table lamps, the fitter is on the bottom)
- If you need a nonstandard size Euro Fitter**
*The HARDWARE DROP is how deep the hardware is recessed into the shade as measured from the edge of the shade. It is most commonly between 0"-3", but unlike spider rings, there is no standard height. Every shade can be different as it was designed to compliment the needs of its specific lamp. If you choose the wrong drop height, your shade will not sit at the correct height on the lamp. For more information about measuring the drop on your current lamp shade,please visit my Drop Height blog post.

Back by popular demand! When I started making shades over 15 years ago now (sheesh!), this was the fabric I started with. I had no idea it was actually one of the most difficult fabrics to work with until a couple years later when I started experimenting with other fabrics. The outcome is definitely worth the extra care involved with working with this delicate fabric. I always look for good visual texture in the fabrics I pick for my shades, and this fabric is no exception. After all these years, it is still one of my favorite fabrics when lit. It has a lovely glow and a great nubby texture.
This shade comes standard with a white triangle stitch detail at the seam.

Pro Tip: For optimal performance, choose your bulb based on your shade size and not on what your lamp base can handle.
While LEDs emit less heat than the old incandescent bulbs, heat output is not the only thing that affects the well-being of your shade. Lumen output can still have an affect on how quickly a shade yellows with time. A larger shade can handle a higher wattage (or lumen output) bulb, and a smaller shade can handle a lower wattage bulb
Lumen output is how we determine wattage equivalents. A 60W incandescent light bulb that uses 60 watts of power gives off a minimum of 800 lumens of light. A 60W equivalent LED light bulb also gives off a minimum of 800 lumens. This lumen output can still affect a lampshade over time, even if we don't see any immediate damage being done and it never gets warm. I recommend not using more than a 40W equivalent on a 9 in. diameter shade.
