Ashdown Indigo

Whitworth Fabric FabricCCF0729-05

Ashdown Indigo has a cool, blue-indigo ground with closely spaced vertical ribs that create a fine, tactile stripe. Pale blue-grey threads catch across the surface, gently lifting the depth of the shade.

About this fabric

This Clarke & Clarke Whitworth fabric weighs 425gsm, giving the finely ribbed weave a substantial upholstery character. The close-up shows narrow vertical lines rather than a bold motif, with a subtle 0.4cm horizontal repeat and no vertical pattern repeat. Its indigo tone reads cool and quietly saturated, while the alternating threads add a softly weathered blue-grey dimension. The 138cm usable width and 35m standard length make it practical for coordinated upholstery work.

How to use it

Use Ashdown Indigo on a tailored armchair, sofa or dining seat where its cool depth can anchor warm timber, chalky neutrals and brushed metal. The fine vertical rib brings understated texture without competing with patterned cushions.

A substantial, finely ribbed indigo textile for tailored upholstery and structured seating.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Ashdown Indigo without fighting it. 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.
