Ramie Linen

Origins FabricCCF0526-03

Ramie Linen has a pale greige-taupe ground with a visibly irregular, closely packed weave. Fine horizontal shifts in tone give the surface a softly striated appearance rather than a flat solid colour.

About this fabric

The close weave combines warm beige, stone and muted grey threads, creating a natural greige that changes subtly as the light catches the raised horizontal texture. Its 306 gsm weight gives the cloth a substantial mid-weight presence, making it suitable for both upholstery and drapery. The fabric has a 139 cm usable width and a standard 40 m length. With a 0 cm vertical and horizontal pattern repeat, the woven texture can be handled without matching a repeating motif.

How to use it

Pair this pale greige-taupe colourway with chalky whites, warm timber and soft stone upholstery for a quiet natural scheme. Its horizontal woven texture also adds understated depth when used as relaxed curtains or on a tailored occasional chair.

Use this softly textured greige weave to bring calm, natural depth to upholstery, curtains or layered neutral schemes.

Pairs well with

Ramie Linen 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.
