About this fabric

The design reads as a medium-scale plaid, formed from broad vertical bands and quieter horizontal teal lines over the mixed brown-grey ground. Fine rust lines bring a warm, coppery accent, while the charcoal fibres add depth and keep the overall colourway subdued. The diagonal tweed weave creates a gently mottled effect as the light catches the surface. No performance features are noted for this fabric.

How to use it

Use this dark brown colourway on a traditional armchair, sofa or footstool where its rust lines can connect with warm timber and leather, while the muted teal offers a cooler counterpoint. Keep surrounding plains quiet so the understated plaid remains legible.

A richly textured dark tweed for upholstered seating, with rust and teal lines adding definition to the earthy ground.

Pairs well with

Yorkshire Tweed Colour Twelve is a quiet cloth, so it carries a pattern beside it: one of these on the curtains and this on the chair. Mixed across the houses we hold, which is the part a single supplier's book cannot do.

Paint that goes with it

Two ways to take the room. Both colours are from houses we hold, so a pot can come off the same order as the cloth. Screens shift colour, so treat these as a direction and bring the cloth to the shelf before you buy the paint.
