Curtain Stretchers

Curtain stretchers are adjustable, light wooden frames, usually of basswood, fitted with either stationary or movable pins for holding curtains tight while they are drying. Lace or net curtains should never be ironed, as they stretch and pull out of shape. The curtain stretchers make them dry evenly. The pins must be of some non-rusting material, usually brass, nickel-plated. The stretchers come 2 and 4 yards long.
