About this fabric

Woven in 100% linen, Flynn Forest has the dry, textured look associated with a classic plain linen, with visible slubbing and a subtle cross weave across the surface. The colour reads as a muted forest green rather than a bright herbal shade, so it feels composed and earthy in natural light. With no repeat and an approximate width of 139cm, it is straightforward to pattern match and versatile for a range of furnishing applications. The gentle unevenness of the weave softens the colour, giving the fabric a lived-in elegance that suits both relaxed and more tailored interiors.

How to use it

Use it for relaxed upholstery, cushions or curtains where you want a green with more depth than sage but less intensity than emerald. It pairs well with oak, stone, putty and warm brass for a calm, grounded room.

A quietly tailored green linen that brings depth without overpowering a scheme.

Flynn Forest 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.
