I got two of those shades that rolls up.

(I'm not hawking lowe's products. The link is just so you can see exactly what I got.)

one of them is 6 feet wide; the other is 8 feet wide.
the smaller one hangs from the wall unit in my sewing room.
it's covered with a vinyl table cloth - fuzzy side out.
i roll it up and down as needed to get to the shelves behind.
it works very well for just about anything up to twin size.
if something has gotten heavy enough to need pinning, i have no problem shoving pins through the little plastic tubes it's made from.

i am going to hang the bigger one from hooks i'll put in the ceiling.
i will cover that one with batting.
it will stay rolled up and out of the way unless i need it for a big project.
