Dutch net curtain strip things

No, no, not that kind of strip.

Was in the Netherlands a few years back and admired the net curtains they use.

Instead of covering the whole window - and excluding precious light - they simply put a strip of crocheted net curtain across part of the window.

If there's no light on inside, the eyes of passers-by focus not on the inside of the room but on the strip of net curtain.

*What* is that thing called - either in English or in Dutch?

Are they not the same things you see on a lot of windows? Or is it just a waterford and holland thing,lol.

Holland anyway, but if I can get them in Waterford I'll take a trip out foreign to get them there...

These are kind of thick, heavy white cotton, and they have crocheted pictures of ducks or sunflowers or cottages or whatever.

The strip is about, oh, a foot or so wide, and stretches the width of the window, usually from the bottom up for the first foot or so, though sometimes across the middle.

They also do circurlar versions, which hang in the centre of the window.

Wouldn't that just make them small curtains?
