About this fabric

This colourway reads as a soft, misty blue with grey undertones, giving the surface a calm, low-contrast look. The fine woven texture and gentle vertical striation are visible across the cloth, adding movement without introducing a pattern; repeat is 0cm vertically and horizontally, so it keeps this clean, uniform appearance. Made from 90% wool and 10% polyamide, and approximately 145cm wide, it has the character of a practical woven textile rather than a decorative print. The blend and weave suggest a fabric that will sit neatly on furniture or hang with a disciplined, tailored line at the window.

How to use it

Use it on an upholstered armchair or sofa where its cool blue-grey tone can balance timber and darker accents. It also works well for curtains in light-filled rooms, where the muted colour will soften daylight without feeling heavy.

A calm, versatile wool with a cool blue cast that suits tailored upholstery and understated curtains.

Pairs well with

Iona Blue 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.
